MN-263 1948 (Minnesota Road Sign) Pint Glass: Design

This pint glass showcases a classic piece of Minnesota history: the 1948-style Minnesota State Highway 263 marker. The artwork faithfully reproduces the design used on state highway signs during that era, offering a glimpse into the past of Minnesota's road system.

The Design Elements

The design features a square shield shape with a distinctive border. At the top, the word "MINNESOTA" is prominently displayed, signifying the state identity. Below this, the route number "263" is clearly rendered, identifying this specific highway. The year "1948" in the designation represents the design style of the marker, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of that period in Minnesota highway signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design symbolizes Minnesota's historical transportation infrastructure. The use of this marker style represents a specific period in the evolution of highway signage in the state. The marker evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when road travel and exploration were different. Collectors of road memorabilia value historic state markers like this because they reflect design changes over time in signage.

The "MN 263" marker on this glass is a visual representation of the highway itself and the communities it connects, and the era it comes from.

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.
