US 20 Iowa 1948 (Iowa) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass design celebrates the iconic roadside marker of U.S. Route 20 in Iowa as it appeared in 1948, a testament to the post-World War II era of American travel and infrastructure.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The centerpiece of the design is the classic U.S. Highway shield. Rendered with a simple yet bold aesthetic, the shield features a white or light-colored background, outlined in black, mimicking the appearance of the original metal signs. Centered prominently within the shield is the number "20," rendered in solid black, representing the specific U.S. Route being marked.

Above the route number, the design may include the state name "IOWA" also in black, following period sign variations. This addition not only specifies the state but also provides context, grounding the design geographically.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s symbolism is deeply rooted in the history of American transportation. The U.S. Highway shield itself is a powerful symbol of the federal highway system, representing connectivity and the ease of travel across the nation. The year 1948 marks a pivotal point in American history, representing post-war reconstruction and the nation's burgeoning road network.

The "20" signifies a particular path, a route through Iowa that linked communities and facilitated commerce. For travelers, the sign provided clear, concise guidance, while for locals, it became an instantly recognizable symbol of their state and surroundings. This design encapsulates a bygone era of adventure and exploration, now available on this pint glass, ready to take your imagination for a ride.

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.
