Shoudou 160China (China) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design turns a roadside route marker into a bold, graphic emblem: a yellow rounded rectangle ringed in black, carrying the designation S 160.
Visual Elements & Composition
Yellow fills most of the field, with black taking nearly all of the rest, so the sign reads at a glance the way road signage is meant to. A black border sits inset within the rounded rectangle, framing the lettering. The characters are set large and centred on a single line: S, then 1, 6 and 0. Flat vector shapes with no shading or texture keep the composition clean and utilitarian.
Meaning & Symbolism
The name pairs Shoudou, the Chinese word for capital, with China, and the route number anchors the whole piece. Route markers are civic objects. They tell travellers where they are and where a road leads, and this artwork borrows that plainspoken authority. It draws on Chinese naming and design sensibilities, and its modern, signage-based look places it firmly in the present day.
Where the Sign Meets the Glass
A pint glass wraps its design around a tall, curving surface, so the yellow marker is always seen in the round, sliding into view as the glass turns in the hand. The rounded corners of the sign echo the soft lines of the glass, and the black border gives the eye a crisp edge to follow as the drink rises and falls. Whether it is poured into or passed across the table, the route number stays in view, turning a plain serving glass into a small piece of roadside graphics.

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.
