About this design
Route départementale française 112
Route départementale française 112 (France) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design renders the French D112 departmental road sign as a bold, flat graphic: a single amber plate carrying the road's black designation, reduced to its essentials.
Visual Elements & Composition
Amber yellow fills most of the composition, with black used sparingly for the characters. The plate is a horizontal rounded rectangle, and it sits at the centre with nothing competing around it. The lettering reads "D 112" in black, the prefix and number set with the clean spacing of a registration-style plate. The result is high contrast and immediately legible, the way French road signage is designed to be read at speed.
Meaning & Symbolism
The "D" marks a Route départementale, a road maintained by the local department rather than the national government. Each one carries that prefix followed by its number, and the yellow cartouche is how drivers recognise it as a local route. The design follows the standards of the Instruction interministérielle sur la signalisation routière (IISR) and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. It is a small study in French administrative geography, where a road's number tells you who looks after it.
Set Around the Pint
A sign like this is built to be taken in at a glance, and a pint glass suits that. The plate wraps the curved sides of the glass, so the "D 112" lettering turns as the glass turns in your hand, catching the light as you lift it. It is a cheeky nod for anyone who has ever navigated a French back road, and a warm, slightly unexpected gift for the driver, the map-lover, or the one who collects everyday signage.

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.
- Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
- Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
- 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.
