Shoudou 960China (China) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes the form of a road sign, a yellow rounded rectangle carrying a single designation: S960, rendered in bold black on a flat field of colour.
Visual Elements & Composition
Yellow fills most of the frame, roughly four-fifths of the surface, with black taking the remainder through a thick inner border and the lettering. The sign is centred and symmetrical, with nothing around it to compete for attention. The flat vector style keeps every edge crisp, so the rounded corners and the inset black frame read as clearly as the numerals. The composition is deliberately plain, the way a real route marker is built to be read at speed from a distance.
Meaning & Symbolism
The “S” prefix and the number 960 come from Chinese road designation, where the S-series marks a numbered route in the national network. The number 960 also carries a second meaning: it is the familiar shorthand for China's land area of roughly 9.6 million square kilometres. The artwork joins the two readings, so a utilitarian roadside marker becomes a compact statement about the country's scale and its navigable, interconnected geography. The original sign system belongs to China's road authorities, and this piece borrows its visual language to celebrate the nation it describes.
Designed for the Hand and the Table
A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that wraps around the hand, so the design turns with every sip and every refill. The sign's upright rectangle and bold numerals sit well on that curve, and the black border frames the glass the way a real sign frames its route. Give it to someone who has spent time on Chinese roads, or who simply likes a bold, direct graphic with a story behind it, and the design does the talking.

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.
