NC 2 1945 (North Carolina) Pint Glass: Design

This pint glass showcases a faithful reproduction of the NC 2 road sign as it appeared in North Carolina around 1945. The design is a powerful nod to the state's rich transportation history and early highway systems.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element of the design is the unmistakable "NC 2" designation. This represents State Highway 2, one of the original numbered highways in the state. The typography reflects the style prevalent in the 1940s, featuring bold, clear lettering optimized for readability.

The color scheme is historically accurate, presenting black lettering against a crisp white background. This design is framed by a solid black border. This simple yet effective palette ensures the sign's prominent readability, which was essential for drivers of the era.

Meaning and Symbolism

The NC 2 road sign is more than just a route marker; it’s a symbol of exploration, travel, and the evolution of North Carolina's infrastructure. It represents a pivotal moment in the state's development, when early road networks connected communities and facilitated progress.

The design’s vintage aesthetic evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting the viewer back to a simpler time. The black and white contrasts offer a stark clarity that is a callback to design standards that have since evolved. The design as a whole is a classic depiction of the rich history of North Carolina.

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.
