Shoudou 044China (China) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes the form of a yellow road sign, a route marker that asks the eye to follow a line rather than admire a picture.
Visual Elements & Composition
Yellow fills roughly four-fifths of the field, with black taking most of the rest. The main shape is a rounded rectangle, framed by a black border that gives the sign its crisp edge. Inside, a black rectangular badge carries the route designation S044, set bold and centred so it reads at a glance. Nothing competes with it. The style is flat vector, with solid colour blocks and no shading, so the sign reads as a clean, graphic object.
Meaning & Symbolism
Road signs exist to orient travellers, and this piece borrows that language completely. The alphanumeric code is the heart of the work: a letter and three digits, the way routes are identified across a network. Shoudou 044 is the designation of this series entry, and the China theme places the sign within a Chinese context. The result is a modern, utilitarian emblem that treats national and regional identity as a matter of navigation, a route you can follow from one place to another.
Designed to Be Followed Around the Glass
A mixing glass is tall and curved, and it is held close, turned in the hand as the drink is stirred and poured. That turning suits this design. The yellow sign wraps around the vessel, and each glance catches a new section of its border and its black badge. The route numeral is always in sight, so the sign keeps pointing you onward with every turn.

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.
