Iowa 183 1926 Road Sign - Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design pays homage to the historical "Iowa 183" road sign used in 1926. It encapsulates a significant era in American road travel, when the U.S. Highway System was first implemented to standardize routes across the nation.

Visual Representation

The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic shield design. A stark white shape is featured, representing the original cutout style of the sign, outlined by a bold black border. This simple color palette ensures high visibility and recognition, reflecting the original purpose of the signs: clarity and easy identification for travelers.

Text and Typography

Above the route number, "IOWA" and "U.S." are printed in a bold, sans-serif font. This typeface, a hallmark of the 1926 U.S. Highway system, projects a sense of historical authenticity. The all-caps lettering further contributes to the sign's legibility, ensuring the route number is easily identifiable.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of early 20th-century road travel. It symbolizes the growth and evolution of infrastructure in the United States and the effort to connect communities across the country. Displaying the "Iowa 183" shield, the glass pays tribute to a specific era of road design and the ambition to provide standardized travel experiences.

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.
