NC 9 1945 (North Carolina) Pint Glass - Design

This pint glass celebrates a piece of North Carolina's transportation history, featuring artwork inspired by the state highway signs of 1945. The design meticulously recreates the look and feel of the original NC 9 road sign from that era.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central visual element is the number "9" rendered in bold, black numerals. This represents North Carolina Highway 9, a vital route within the state's network during the mid-1940s. Above the number, the initials "N.C." are also displayed in black, further identifying it as a North Carolina state highway.

The design adheres to the stylistic conventions of the time. The numbers and letters are set against a pristine, light-colored background that evokes the painted metal of the original signs. A black border frames the entire design, providing definition and enhancing the contrast.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork is more than just a representation of a road sign; it's a visual homage to a bygone era of American road travel. It symbolizes the state's efforts to standardize its highway signage following the 1934 renumbering. This simple, yet functional design speaks to a time when travel was less about speed and more about the journey itself. It represents a connection to the state's past, reminding us of the infrastructure that helped connect communities.

The black-and-white color scheme, the bold typeface, and the overall minimalist approach are characteristic of the design standards of that period. The artwork encapsulates the essence of mid-century Americana and the rich history embedded in North Carolina's road system.

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.
