NC 709 1945 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz

A rhombus-framed North Carolina highway marker in black on white, with the NC monogram and the number 709, carries the date 1945 as its only other text.

Visual Elements & Composition

White is the dominant colour, covering roughly six-sevenths of the artwork, while black draws the rhombus outline and the lettering. The NC monogram sits above the numerals 709, centred in a flat, unembellished layout that echoes the state shield and route-marker style. Nothing sits outside the frame, and there is no texture or shadow to soften the edges, so the sign reads as a crisp graphic. The numerals are the largest element and the easiest thing to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

The highway shield and route marker are the everyday signs of the American road network. The NC monogram names North Carolina, the number locates a specific route, and the year 1945 anchors the sign in the period just after the Second World War, when states were extending and numbering their highways. The design treats the road system as a set of identifiers, a state, a route and a date, and offers them as a compact record of how the network was organised.

Made for the Mixing Glass

A route marker is made to be taken in at a glance, and a mixing glass is handled in a similar way, lifted, tilted and set down throughout a pour. The rhombus runs around the straight, tall sides of the vessel, so the numerals stay visible as the glass turns. It suits a shelf of state memorabilia or a kitchen counter, where the sign raises the question of which road carried route 709 through North Carolina.

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.
