NC 11 1957 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a classic piece of North Carolina history through its striking design, replicating the iconic road sign for North Carolina Highway 11 as it appeared in the year 1957. The artwork is a faithful representation of the state's highway signage of that era, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with mid-century Americana and North Carolina's rich road-trip heritage.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The design centers on a black square, symbolizing the solid foundation of the state's transportation network. Within this square, a white diamond, with its softened corners, provides a clean and distinct backdrop for the route number. The bold "11" prominently displayed within the white diamond signifies the specific highway, a crucial artery connecting communities and facilitating travel.

The use of a black background and white diamond creates a high-contrast visual that was intentional to aid visibility. This design language underscores the practicality of the sign, optimized for quick identification by drivers on the road. The inclusion of the "NC" (or possibly "N.C.") above the diamond on some designs would further highlight the state context, reinforcing the route's official status.

The overall style, a product of the late 1950s, reflects an era of streamlined design and a focus on clarity. This is more than a simple number; it's a visual shorthand for a specific place and time, a testament to the enduring appeal of the open road and the communities that highways like NC 11 connect.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
