US 98 1961 Cutout (California) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases the iconic design of a US Route 98 highway sign, specifically the "1961 cutout" style employed in California. The artwork faithfully replicates the visual hallmarks of this historic signage.

The Shield: A Symbol of the Open Road

The central element is the U.S. Route shield itself. The shape—a squared top with concave sides—is immediately recognizable, representing a U.S. highway. The "US" indicates its national significance, with "98" clearly displayed to identify the specific route.

California's Distinctive Design

The design adheres to California's state-specific standards for road signage. The “cutout” nature of the design means the shield's shape is the defining visual element, rather than a design printed on a rectangular or square background. This style reflects the standards set around 1961 and used in California. The public domain design, originating from the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), is presented in precise detail.

Historical Significance

This design is more than just a road sign; it is a piece of Americana. It reflects a specific era in American history and roadside design. The visual style, originally used for guiding drivers, is now re-imagined as an eye-catching design to honor the historical significance of the American roadways. This artwork serves as a nod to collectors and those who appreciate the aesthetics of vintage highway design.

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.
