NC 284 1957 (North Carolina) Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass showcases a classic piece of North Carolina history through its artwork: the former NC 284 highway marker, as it might have appeared in the 1957 era. The design is a faithful representation of the state's road signage from that period.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element of the design is the iconic NC 284 highway shield. This emblem, rendered in the style of 1957 signage, features a black background with a prominent white diamond shape. Inside the diamond, the bold "284" is displayed, representing the specific state highway that once traversed the mountainous regions of North Carolina.

The color scheme—black and white—is historically accurate, reflecting the standard for North Carolina state highway signage of that period. It also provides a clean, easily recognizable design that stands out on the glass.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design serves as a visual reminder of North Carolina's transportation history. NC 284 was an important part of the state's road network, connecting communities and providing access to scenic areas. The 1957 style reflects a period of significant growth and standardization in highway construction and maintenance, particularly after World War II. It represents a time when the nation, and North Carolina in particular, were undergoing considerable development.

The inclusion of "1957" in the design adds an additional layer of meaning. It signifies the era when the design style of the highway marker was prevalent. This element may appeal to those with an interest in vintage Americana, nostalgia, and a connection to the past, reminding them of a bygone era of road travel.

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.
