NC 191A 1957 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a design that transports you back to the late 1950s in North Carolina, evoking a bygone era of road travel and simpler signage.

The Iconic Representation

The central element of the design is a faithful recreation of a 1957 North Carolina road sign. It prominently features a black square frame, inside which sits a white diamond. This diamond is the focal point, displaying the route designation: "191A" in bold, clear lettering. The "A" signifies an alternate route of NC 191, a historical designation used to navigate the Asheville area.

Symbolism and Meaning

The sign’s design offers a visual representation of a significant piece of North Carolina’s transportation history. It speaks to a time before modern freeway bypasses, when alternate routes provided options for travelers to experience cities and towns differently. The "A" suffix and the diamond shape act as immediate visual indicators, conveying the specific nature of the route.

The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of the evolution of road systems and the importance of wayfinding in the pre-freeway era. The color contrast of the black square, the white diamond, and the bold numbers offers an easy read for any traveler on the road.

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.
