NC 102A 1957 Pint Glass: A Toast to North Carolina Road History

Raise a glass to a bygone era with this striking NC 102A pint glass. The design is a faithful recreation of the 1957 North Carolina road sign, a relic of a time when the Tar Heel State's highway system was evolving and shaping the landscape.

A Classic Design: The North Carolina Shield

The centerpiece of the design is the iconic black square shield, bordered by a crisp white outline. This clean and bold shape was a standard across North Carolina's highway signage during the 1950s, representing the state's official designation.

Decoding the Route: What the Sign Signifies

At the top of the shield, the letters "NC" proudly proclaim the route's status as a North Carolina state highway. Below, the route number "102A" is centered, indicating that this was an alternate route branching off from the primary NC 102. In the 1950s, these 'A' suffixed routes often served as a detour through a town or were used for routes that served mills and business districts.

A Journey Through Time

This design serves as a visual reminder of how roadways were laid out and navigated. Today, it’s a tribute to the memory of North Carolina's road network, a reminder of the changes in the layout of roads, and a time when a simple sign held the key to a different type of experience.

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.
