About this design
Route nationale française 2162
Route nationale française 2162 (France) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes the utilitarian language of French road signage and turns it into a bold, graphic statement: a red rounded plate carrying the white route marker N 2162.
Visual Elements & Composition
Red dominates the composition, filling roughly four-fifths of the field, with white reserved for the block lettering and a narrow horizontal banner. The layout is pared back to a single rounded rectangle and two elements of text, the letter N and the numeral 2162. Flat vector shapes keep every edge crisp, so the plate reads instantly from across a table, just as a real roadside marker does from a passing car.
Meaning & Symbolism
The plate identifies Route nationale 2162, a national road running through the Pays de la Loire region, across the departments of Maine-et-Loire and Mayenne. Historically it served as a bypass or temporary alternative for the Route nationale 162, so the sign records a piece of regional travel and infrastructure history. The design follows the standardised French national road signage code, a red rectangle with white lettering, which has guided drivers across the country in a modern, practical visual language.
Made for the Pint Glass
A road sign is built to be read at a glance, and a pint glass is built to be held in one hand and turned as you drink. The plate wraps around the curve of the glass, so the route number catches the eye each time the glass is lifted. It makes a cheeky conversation starter for anyone who has ever found themselves lost on a country road, and a fitting nod to a friend who loves a good journey.

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.
