WIS 142 1919 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the earliest days of Wisconsin's highway system, featuring the original 1919 design of the WIS 142 road marker. The design pays homage to a pivotal moment in transportation history, visualizing the beginning of the state's modern road network.

Visual Elements

The artwork directly mirrors the first generation WIS 142 highway sign. The primary element is a square, representing the standard shape of the original markers. The use of black ink against a white backdrop recalls the sign's straightforward and functional aesthetic. The design is simple, bold, and easy to read. This is a design rooted in early 20th-century sensibilities where clarity and simplicity were paramount.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's symbolism is tied to the spirit of early automobile travel and the growth of Wisconsin's infrastructure. The "WIS" abbreviation at the top acts as a herald of the state, designating this route as a part of the statewide trunk system. The bold "142" below immediately identifies the specific road. Together, these elements reflect the state's investment in providing organized, identifiable, and navigable routes for its citizens and visitors.

The design, with its straightforward execution, embodies the practicality and optimism of the era. It's a tribute to a simpler time when road signs were functional markers of progress, designed to guide travelers on the open road.

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.
