US 34 Iowa 1948 (Iowa) Pint Glass - Design Description

This pint glass celebrates the classic look of the US 34 road sign as it appeared in Iowa in 1948, reflecting a post-World War II aesthetic. The design is a faithful reproduction of the highway marker that guided travelers across the Hawkeye State during that era.

Visual Elements

The centerpiece of the design is the iconic U.S. Highway shield, a recognizable symbol of the federal highway system. Rendered with a clean, straightforward design, the shield features a white or light-colored background accented by a bold black outline, typical of road signs from the time. Centered within the shield, the number "34" is displayed in stark black, clearly identifying the route.

Above the number, the word "IOWA" is proudly displayed, representing the specific state of the US 34 highway. This addition reinforces the location of the road and gives it a personalized touch

Meaning and Symbolism

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in American travel. The US Highway shield is a symbol of mobility and connectivity, representing the vast network of roads that linked the nation. The presence of "IOWA" indicates the specific stretch of US 34, connecting to the culture and identity of the state's residents.

The use of a black number on a light background ensures clear visibility, a functional aspect of road sign design that is retained in this representation. The entire aesthetic speaks to a functional yet recognizable style, and an important piece of the history of American road travel.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” 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 / β‰ˆ0.47 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 β€” 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.
