Iowa 257 1948 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the history of Iowa Highway 257, a state highway that once connected Dickens to U.S. Highway 18 in Clay County. The artwork meticulously recreates the 1948 Iowa road sign design, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the state's transportation past.

Visual Elements

The design prominently displays the distinctive shield-shaped route marker employed by Iowa state highways in 1948. This historical design is immediately recognizable. The crisp white background, contrasted by the bold black text and border, ensures optimal legibility and clarity. The number "257" is clearly printed within the shield, accurately replicating the original road sign.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a tribute to Iowa's road network during the mid-20th century. The route marker symbolizes the state's investment in transportation and its efforts to guide drivers with consistent and easily identifiable signage. The choice of the 1948 design specifically represents an era of standardization and progress in road infrastructure. For enthusiasts, it represents a nostalgic look back at a time when road signs had a very distinct and simple style.

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.
