NC 345E 1957 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a classic piece of North Carolina highway history: the NC 345E route marker from 1957. The design captures the essence of a bygone era in road signage and evokes a sense of nostalgia for those familiar with North Carolina's transportation heritage.

The Route Marker

The central element of the design is the distinctive route marker itself. It features the iconic white diamond, representing a state highway, enclosed within a black square, the standard for North Carolina primary state highways. Inside the diamond, "345E" is prominently displayed, signifying the eastern spur of Highway 345.

Historical Significance

The inclusion of "1957" beneath the route designation immediately grounds the design in a specific historical context. This detail is not merely a date; it represents the design standard and era during which the sign would have been used. It highlights the existence of the NC 345E spur, which provided a vital connection into downtown Manteo during that period.

A Symbol of the Past

For those who appreciate road signs and historical memorabilia, this design is more than just a graphic; it's a symbol of a time when the roads were simpler, and a sign like this was a guidepost to a specific destination. The design acts as a conversation starter, inviting discussion about the history of Dare County, Roanoke Island, and the evolution of transportation in North Carolina.

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.
