Virginia 278 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz

Design Overview

This pint glass celebrates the enduring legacy of Virginia's highway system, specifically State Route 278, as it appeared in 1980. The design mirrors the official road sign of that era, a recognizable marker for travelers throughout the Commonwealth.

Visual Elements

The artwork is a faithful reproduction of the 1980s Virginia state route marker. The foundation of the design is a clean white rectangle, providing a stark contrast that ensures clear visibility. Encircling the white background is a simple yet defined thin black border. At the top of the design, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in a classic, small black uppercase font, representing the state itself.

The most prominent element is the large, bold numeral "278," also in black. Centered beneath the state name, this number immediately identifies the specific route - King Street, connecting Hampton to Langley Air Force Base. The black numerals stand out boldly against the white background.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to a sense of place and historical accuracy. The sign's presence evokes images of travel, navigation, and the infrastructure that connects communities. The simplicity of the design reflects the functional nature of road signs, acting as a direct and unambiguous guide. For those familiar with Hampton Roads and the surrounding areas, this glass serves as a small homage to the familiar landmark that leads drivers to Langley AFB.

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.
