US 77 Iowa 1948 Pint Glass Design

Raise a glass to a piece of American road history! This pint glass showcases the iconic design of the US 77 highway shield as it appeared in Iowa in 1948. The artwork directly replicates the historical signage, a testament to mid-century American highway design.

Visual Elements: The Shield and the Open Road

The centerpiece of the design is the classic pointed-bottom shield, a visual shorthand recognized across the United States for denoting U.S. highways. Inside, bold, sans-serif numerals "77" stand out, designed for maximum visibility at speed. This clear, concise numbering was crucial for quick identification by drivers on the road.

State and Significance

Crowning the shield, the word "IOWA" boldly declares the state's jurisdiction. This placement reinforces the sign's function: to guide travelers on U.S. Route 77 specifically within the state of Iowa. The design is a symbol of standardized travel and the evolution of road systems in America.

The design of this pint glass encapsulates a piece of American history, offering a visual connection to the mid-century era of road travel. It represents an era when clarity and consistency were key, while maintaining a familiar shield shape of the original 1926 sign.

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.
