MN-278 1948 (Minnesota) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a piece of Minnesota's transportation history, specifically the design associated with State Trunk Highway 278, using the style prevalent in 1948. The artwork centers around the iconic road sign shield.

The Road Sign Shield

The primary element is a representation of the MN-278 route marker. This shield, reflecting the 1948 design, would have once guided motorists along the route. The number "278" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific highway designation within the Minnesota state system. The vintage font and shield shape transport the viewer back in time.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design carries a strong sense of nostalgia. It evokes memories of a bygone era of road travel and the evolution of highway signage. The MN-278 shield represents a specific place, time, and mode of transportation that once was. It stands as a visual link to the history of Minnesota's infrastructure and the enduring allure of the open road.

The "1948" designation further grounds the design in a particular stylistic period. The design encapsulates a piece of Minnesota's heritage, inviting the viewer to appreciate the visual language of road signage and its enduring impact.

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.
