NC 681 1945 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz

A simple black diamond on a white field, carrying the NC monogram and the route number 681, reads as a North Carolina highway marker dated 1945.

Visual Elements & Composition

White fills most of the artwork, about six parts in seven, and black draws the diamond outline and the lettering. The NC monogram and the numerals 681 are placed in the centre of the diamond with no border, shading or extra motif. The composition is pared back to two colours and one shape, so the outline and figures are the only things on the page. The result is a clean, instantly readable sign that works as well at small size as it does large.

Meaning & Symbolism

The diamond is the mark of a numbered secondary route on American highways, and the NC monogram fixes that route to North Carolina. The year 1945 places the sign in the years immediately after the Second World War, when states were numbering and signing their road networks. The design distils that system to its essentials, a state, a route and a date, and gives each one its own place within the frame.

Made for the Mixing Glass

A route marker is designed to be taken in quickly from a passing car, and a mixing glass is handled in a similar way, lifted, tilted and set down during a pour. The diamond runs around the straight, tall sides of the vessel, so the number stays in view as the glass turns in the hand. It is a natural fit for a bar shelf, where the sign can start a conversation about which road carried route 681 across the state.

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.
