PA-236 1948 (Pennsylvania) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass celebrates the heritage of Pennsylvania roadways with a design inspired by the iconic 1948 Pennsylvania state route markers. The artwork prominently features the keystone shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to those familiar with the state's highways.

Key Design Elements

The central element is the "PA-236" designation, boldly displayed within the keystone shape. The font style replicates the federal-standard fonts introduced in 1948 for these signs, a significant detail that anchors the design in a specific historical moment. The "PA" signifies Pennsylvania, and "236" represents a state route (likely a legislative route) within the Commonwealth.

The design adheres to the visual language of mid-20th century highway signage. The color palette, though not explicitly mentioned in the original text, would likely have been the classic hues associated with Pennsylvania route markers: typically a color combination of white text on a black background, encased within the distinctive keystone outline.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American travel, when road trips and scenic routes were central to the experience. It serves as a tribute to the network of state highways that connected communities and facilitated travel. The keystone itself is a powerful symbol of Pennsylvania, representing the state’s key role in the formation of the United States. This pint glass design connects the user with the state’s history, and the era of simpler route markers.

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.
