US 48 1961 Cutout (California) Pint Glass Design

This design showcases a piece of California's forgotten highway history. The artwork centers around a meticulously crafted U.S. Route shield, specifically depicting "US 48". This shield isn't just a number; it's a visual nod to an early, short-lived highway that once ran through California, connecting San Jose to French Camp.

The 1961 Cutout Design

The design adheres to the California-style specifications of the 1961 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This means the shield features a distinctive "cutout" style, a detail that sets it apart. The shield's shape is the traditional U.S. highway shield, without a rectangular backing, highlighting its authentic and retro aesthetic. The numerals are presented in a specific font, adhering to the 1961 standard.

A Historical Tribute

The "US 48" in this design represents a specific era and a vanished route. Given that US 48 in California was decommissioned by 1931, the design is a modern artistic tribute, not a direct replica of an existing sign from that era. Its presence evokes the spirit of historical road signage, making it an engaging conversation starter for those who appreciate design and transportation history.

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.
