The road is the dominant line, leading the eye away from the viewer and into open country. Nothing competes with it. The mood is calm and uncluttered, with the landscape kept understated so the path itself does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title does most of the storytelling. \u003cem\u003eKõrvalmaantee\u003c\/em\u003e is the Estonian word for a secondary road, one of the smaller routes that branch off the main network into villages, farmland and forest. The code \u003cem\u003exx166\u003c\/em\u003e is the kind of designation that marks a road on a map, so the piece reads as a piece of wayfinding. It celebrates the places that big highways pass by, and the sense of travel that comes from following a road you chose rather than one you were funnelled onto. The Estonia reference anchors the whole idea in a specific country and its geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for the Mixing Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mixing glass is a vessel you hold close and turn in the hand, and this design suits that intimacy. The road runs in a continuous line, so it carries from one side of the glass to the other as you lift and pour. The image rewards a slow look at a drink being made, much like a quiet drive along a road you did not plan to take.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53175572791576,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-KRVXX-16OZ-1FH6X","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/krvalmaantee-xx166-estonia-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-KRVXX-16OZ-1FH6X-front.webp?v=1794073172","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/krvalmaantee-xx166-estonia-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
