Texas 85 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the earliest days of Texas's highway system, offering a glimpse into a time when road signage was far more rudimentary than today. The design meticulously recreates the look of a 1917 Texas State Highway 85 marker.

A Nod to Simplicity

The artwork focuses on a central element: the number "85". Rendered in a classic, bold font, the numerals stand out prominently, mimicking the painted appearance of early road markers. The absence of a standardized metal sign, so common today, is honored by the design’s simplicity. This is not a modern shield; it's a testament to the resourcefulness of the era.

The Heart of Texas

Below the "85", the word "TEXAS" is included in a simple black stencil font. This adds the necessary context and origin to the highway. It underscores the connection of the highway to the State of Texas and conveys the pride in the developing road system.

Symbolism

The overall design is symbolic of progress and the nascent development of Texas' infrastructure. It represents the spirit of exploration and the efforts to connect communities across the vast landscapes of South Texas in the early 20th century. The lack of pretense in the design reflects the ruggedness and ambition of the time, when roads were rough and travel was an adventure.

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.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. 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.
