WIS 117 1919 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass showcases a faithful reproduction of the original 1919 WIS 117 road sign design. The artwork is a stark and simple black-on-white composition, reflecting the utilitarian aesthetics of early road signage.

Visual Elements and Meaning

The design adheres to the standard format of the 1919 Wisconsin State Trunk Highway signs. A crisp, square field provides the backdrop for the essential information. The top line prominently displays β€œWIS,” the abbreviation for Wisconsin, in a bold, black font. This is followed by the route number β€œ117,” presented in large, commanding numerals at the center, ensuring clear legibility.

The design represents the beginnings of Wisconsin's highway system, a moment in time when the state began to connect its communities with a network of numbered roadways. The bold numerals and simple color scheme convey a sense of directness and purpose, reflecting the era's focus on practicality and function.

The absence of any embellishment underscores the sign's primary function: to guide travelers on their journey. The design's straightforwardness speaks to a time before complex graphics, when the clear communication of essential information was paramount. The design is a symbol of early 20th-century transportation and the development of the state's infrastructure.

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.
