Iowa 43 (1926) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the early days of Iowa's highway system, featuring a design inspired by the 1926 Iowa 43 road sign. The artwork immediately evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting you back to a time when travel was simpler and the open road beckoned.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently displays a circular shield, a classic shape used for Iowa's primary road markers in 1926. Positioned near the top of the circle, the word "Iowa" is clearly visible, identifying the state and its connection to the highway. Bold numerals, "43," are placed in the lower portion of the circle, signifying the specific route number. This is a direct representation of the original highway signage.

Color and Contrast

The high-contrast color scheme, mirroring the original road signs, ensures excellent visibility. The bold numerals and lettering on a contrasting background create a visually striking presentation. The black and white (or reverse) scheme provides a clean and crisp aesthetic, staying true to the era and purpose of the original signage: to be easily recognizable and to direct travelers.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a powerful symbol of Iowa's history and its commitment to the development of its infrastructure. The route number represents not just a path on the map, but an important chapter in the state's evolution. This artwork is a nod to the past, reminding us of the significance of the open road and the spirit of exploration.

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.
