US 77 Iowa 1926 (Iowa) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a faithful reproduction of the original US 77 highway shield used in Iowa, circa 1926. The design is a direct homage to the early days of standardized road signage across the United States.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the iconic shield shape, a pointed-bottom emblem instantly recognizable as a vintage U.S. highway marker. Within the shield, the bold, sans-serif numerals "77" command attention, ensuring clear visibility for drivers from a distance. Above these numbers, the word "IOWA" is prominently displayed, signifying the state jurisdiction and grounding the marker in its local context.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a significant moment in American history: the establishment of the U.S. Numbered Highway System in 1926. It embodies the transition from a patchwork of inconsistent auto trail markers to a uniform, easily identifiable system. The shield is a symbol of progress, standardization, and the growing national network of roads that connected the country. This particular iteration, featuring โ€œIOWA,โ€ further roots the design in the specific geographical and historical context of the state.

The artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time of road travel and the enduring spirit of the open road. The design offers a tangible connection to the past, reminding us of the foundations upon which modern road systems were built.

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

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