NC 691 1945 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz

A mid-century North Carolina route marker, a black diamond set on white, pairs the NC monogram with route 691 and the year 1945.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is built from two colours, with white covering around four-fifths of the field and black used for a rotated-square outline and the lettering inside it. The diamond is the shape of a state route marker, and the monogram and numerals sit at its centre with no added ornament. The heavy white ground gives the black figures strong contrast, so the route number is the first thing the eye lands on. Nothing else in the frame competes for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

The motifs come from American state highway signage. The NC monogram names North Carolina, the diamond identifies a numbered route, and the year 1945 locates the sign in the period after the Second World War, when state road systems were being numbered and marked across the country. The artwork boils that network down to its core data, a state, a route and a date, and presents them as a quiet piece of regional memory.

Made for the Mixing Glass

A route marker is designed to be read quickly by someone in motion, and a mixing glass is handled in much the same way, lifted, tilted and set down during a pour. The rotated square and diamond wrap around the straight, tall sides of the vessel, so the number stays visible as the glass turns in the hand. It belongs on a shelf of retro pieces, where the sign invites the question of which road carried route 691.

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.
