NC 282 1945 (North Carolina) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases a striking piece of North Carolina highway history, faithfully recreated from a vintage road sign design. The artwork celebrates the iconic "NC 282" route marker from the 1945 era, a visual emblem of mid-20th-century North Carolina roadways.

The Design Elements

The design features the classic elements of a North Carolina primary highway marker from the period. A bold black square forms the background, a stark contrast that immediately draws the eye. Within this square, a pristine white diamond commands attention, serving as the central focus of the artwork.

Inside the white diamond, the route number "282" is prominently displayed. Above this number, the "NC" monogram is elegantly presented, completing the designation. This arrangement adheres to the standard style for primary highways in North Carolina during that time, providing both clarity and a distinct visual identity.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design is more than just a collection of shapes and numbers; it represents a bygone era of transportation and state identity. It's a nostalgic nod to the past, a symbol of the open road and the journeys that once followed NC 282. The color palette of black and white adds a timeless appeal, reflecting the straightforward and enduring character of the original road sign.

For enthusiasts of road signs, collectors, and those with an appreciation for historical design, this artwork offers a unique conversation starter. It is a visual celebration of a specific period of North Carolina history, now preserved for enjoyment.

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.
