NC 703 1945 (North Carolina) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass showcases a striking design inspired by the historic NC 703 road sign, a relic of North Carolina's highway system from the 1945 era. The artwork directly references the visual language of mid-20th-century road signage, offering a glimpse into the state's transportation history.

Visual Elements

The design features the core elements of the "1945" route marker style. Dominating the composition is a black square, serving as the backdrop. Centered within this square is a white diamond, its rounded corners softening the geometric severity. Inside the diamond, the route number "703" is prominently displayed, using a clear and readable typeface.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's primary function is to represent NC 703, a primary state highway that existed in North Carolina. The sign acted as a route marker, a navigational aid that guided drivers across the state. The choice of the 1945-era design signifies a specific period in the state's road-building history and represents a tangible link to a bygone era, before modern GPS or ubiquitous street signage.

The "diamond-in-square" design is particularly distinctive, a visual identifier that stood out from the signage norms of many other states. It symbolizes a specific design approach, and the sign serves as a historical record, preserving a part of the past that helps drivers find their way from place to place.

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.
