WIS 52 1919 (Wisconsin) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the earliest days of Wisconsin's highway system, featuring a design directly inspired by the original 1919 WIS 52 road sign. The design is a bold statement of straightforward functionality, echoing the utilitarian nature of early road infrastructure.

The Design: A Testament to Simplicity

At its heart, the artwork embodies the essence of the first-generation Wisconsin trunk highway marker. It presents a stark, uncluttered aesthetic: a pure black-on-white composition, precisely mirroring the signage of the era. This signifies the beginning of public road identification, a time when clarity and immediate recognition were paramount.

Visual Elements and Their Meaning

The design adheres strictly to the original specifications. The top of the glass features the abbreviation "WIS" – a concise identifier for "Wisconsin" – presented in a bold, easily legible typeface. Below, the central element is the number "52," displayed in equally large, black numerals. This direct numerical representation symbolizes the specific highway route and its place within the state's expanding network.

The stark contrast between the black text and the white background creates a high level of visual impact, ensuring that the design is easily seen and understood. The use of a simple, square layout further emphasizes the sign's directness and purpose.

This design serves as a nostalgic nod to a pivotal moment in transportation history. It speaks to a time before complex graphics, when the focus was solely on essential information and efficient communication. It's a tribute to the roots of Wisconsin's highway system, capturing the spirit of a bygone era.

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.
