Iowa 56: A Toast to History

Raise a glass to the open road with this evocative pint glass, a tribute to the early days of Iowa's highway system. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the original Iowa 56 road sign, as it appeared in the pivotal year of 1926.

Iconic Circular Shield

At the heart of the design is the classic circular shield, a symbol of the standardization efforts that swept through the nation's road systems in the early 20th century. The circular form represented unity and a commitment to clear, easily recognizable signage.

Black and White Legacy

The stark black and white color scheme, so characteristic of the era, speaks volumes about a time when simplicity and functionality reigned supreme. This high contrast was a deliberate design choice, ensuring maximum visibility for motorists traversing the state’s roads. The bold visual would instantly and clearly communicate important route information.

"Iowa" Above, "56" Below

Arching across the top, the word "Iowa" proudly proclaims the state of origin. Below, the bold numeral "56" signifies a primary state highway that once connected the northeastern towns of Iowa. The placement of the words is important, they are carefully placed to communicate the state’s involvement in the road’s maintenance and the route number, at a glance.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 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 — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — 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 / ≈0.47 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 — 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.
