Iowa 156 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Pint Glass: Design Description

This pint glass showcases a design that pays homage to the early days of Iowa's highway system. The artwork is centered around the iconic circular route marker adopted by the state around 1926, the year of a significant statewide renumbering and the introduction of this distinctive style. This style of sign is commonly associated with vintage aesthetics and is often used to evoke the spirit of early state highways in Iowa.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element is a white circle, the backdrop for the route number and state designation. At the top of the circle, the word "IOWA" is prominently displayed, signifying the state it represents. Below, the number "156" is boldly presented, identifying the specific route. This clear and simple design ensures immediate recognition. The overall design symbolizes travel, state pride, and a bygone era of American road trips.

The design, while referencing a highway established later, is designed to evoke nostalgia. The vintage sign style immediately signals the design as a reproduction, while also establishing the location of the road, giving it a sense of place. This sign style is a common collector's item, and therefore, it is symbolic of an area's history, in this case, a highway's past, present, and future.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
