RI 195 Special (Rhode Island) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass features a design that pays homage to a piece of Rhode Island's transportation history: the "RI 195 special" road sign. This isn't just a generic route marker; it's a representation of a bygone era in Rhode Island's highway system.

The Artwork: A Blast from the Past

The artwork faithfully recreates the look of an older Rhode Island route shield. The design adheres to the specifications of the white background with the black digits, a classic color scheme used on Rhode Island route shields. The number "195" is prominently displayed in black, reminiscent of the signage that once guided motorists across the state.

Notably, the design may reflect different versions of the sign. Older versions did not always include the "R.I." prefix, while later shields did. This adds to the authenticity of the design, reflecting the evolving nature of road signage over time.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "special" in "RI 195 special" is the key to understanding this design. It signifies the sign's historical context. "RI 195" was a former state highway designation. By featuring this design on the pint glass, it's a visual tribute to Rhode Island's road network from the past, specifically the era when "RI 195" was a significant route.

This design is a reminder of the original state route designation that evolved into the Interstate and US highways. It celebrates the state's transportation history and is a nod to a time when navigating Rhode Island roads was a slightly different experience.

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.
