Iowa 396 Road Sign Pint Glass: A Legacy in Glass

Design Inspiration: A Journey Back in Time

This pint glass celebrates the enduring legacy of Iowa's primary road system, specifically paying homage to Primary Road No. 396. The design is a faithful recreation of the original road sign style from 1948, transporting us back to a time when navigating Iowa's highways relied on simple, yet effective, visual cues.

Artwork: The Essence of Simplicity and Clarity

The artwork prominently features the bold number "396," the primary identifier of the historic route. This number is presented in a style that mirrors the original signage – designed for clear visibility and immediate recognition for early motorists. The circular or shield-like shape, characteristic of primary road markers, is also carefully incorporated, emphasizing the functionality and straightforwardness of the design.

Symbolism: A Marker of Progress and Connection

The Iowa 396 road sign design represents more than just a route; it symbolizes Iowa's early commitment to standardized road marking and infrastructure development. The sign serves as a visual testament to the efforts of the Iowa General Assembly in connecting towns, improving road surfaces, and facilitating travel for a growing population. It speaks of a simpler era of navigation, where the clarity of a sign played a vital role in guiding travelers across the state.

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.
