Iowa 158 1926 Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass presents a design that evokes the spirit of early 20th-century Iowa roadways. The artwork draws inspiration from the historical context of 1926 Iowa highway signage, a time when the state transitioned to a standardized route-numbering system.

Visual Elements & Representation

The design features a prominent circular emblem, mirroring the official route markers used in Iowa in 1926. This circular shape, rendered in a classic black and white color scheme, is a direct nod to the past, aiming to capture the aesthetic of the era. At the top of the circle, the word "Iowa" is prominently displayed, acting as a clear indicator of the state's roadways.

Beneath "Iowa," the number "158" is centered. This number is used to represent the highway route itself. The design, while referencing a 1926 aesthetic, does so within the context of a route number that, historically, wasn't actually assigned until later. It thus combines an iconic design style with a potential "what if" or speculative element. This juxtaposition aims to encourage reflection on the evolution of highway systems.

Symbolism & Meaning

The design symbolizes nostalgia for the early days of automobile travel and the growth of the transportation infrastructure in Iowa. The circular shape is also a subtle nod to the simplicity and clarity of the route-marking systems. While the "158" would not have appeared on an actual sign in 1926, the overall design suggests a romanticized vision of a time where highways were beginning to connect communities in new ways.

The artwork's design represents a convergence of historical style with imaginative concepts. Its meaning is in honoring the road and its connection to Iowa's history.

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.
