NC 55A 1957 (North Carolina) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases a design that transports you back to the early days of North Carolina's highway system. The artwork is a faithful representation of the NC 55A road sign, a piece of transportation history that once guided motorists across the state.

The Iconic Road Sign

The design features the classic 1957 era North Carolina route marker. The focal point is a white diamond, bordered by black, set against a black square background. Within the diamond, the number "55 A" is prominently displayed, immediately identifying the route.

"NC" Monogram

Above the route number sits the β€œNC” monogram – the interlocking initials representing North Carolina. This distinctive logo signifies the state's responsibility for the road's maintenance and signifies the geographical location the sign is representing.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "A" designation signifies that NC 55A was an auxiliary route, a branch or alternate path of the main NC 55. The design, therefore, represents a specific moment in time and the bygone era of North Carolina highway development. Its presence on this glass is a tribute to a piece of North Carolina's transportation heritage.

The design on this glass pays homage to the now-decommissioned NC 55A, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the past, while the original design served as a directional aid for motorists.

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.
