About this design
Route nationale française 1160
Route nationale française 1160 (France) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes a single piece of French road furniture, the red-and-white route marker for the RN 1160, and gives it the full graphic weight of a sign you would pass at speed.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the design, covering most of the surface in a deep, saturated tone, with white reserved for the lettering and the thin edge that frames the panel. The layout is restrained: a single horizontal rectangle with rounded corners, carrying the letter N and the numerals 1160 in clean, upright type. Nothing competes with the number. The flat, vector-clean treatment keeps every edge crisp, so the sign reads at a glance, the way it was built to.
Meaning & Symbolism
The N and 1160 identify a national road in the French network, governed by the Code de la route and its national signage standards, which is why the red cartouche and white type are so consistent across the country. This particular route is the rocade est, the eastern bypass of Angers in the Maine-et-Loire department. It keeps traffic flowing between the A11 and A87 motorways, so the sign stands for a working link in the country's infrastructure rather than a scenic detour. It is a small, everyday emblem of how France moves.
Built for the Pint Glass
A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that you turn in your hand with every sip, so the sign wraps around the vessel and reveals itself in pieces as the glass moves. The bold red panel reads clearly from across a table, and the number catches the eye just as a roadside marker does. Pour a drink, lift the glass, and the route marker is in your hand, a quiet nod to the roads that carry people home.

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.
