WV-23 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates a fascinating intersection of early 20th-century road design history. The artwork pays homage to the era when states like West Virginia and Virginia each had their own independent highway systems, before the advent of the U.S. Highway network.

Artwork: A Tale of Two Signs

The design features two distinct road sign representations that represent a historical paradox. On one side, it depicts the 1922 West Virginia Route 23 sign. This design is simple and utilitarian, showcasing a square white background with black text. The text itself is presented in three lines: "W VA" above "23" in a bold font, and finally, "STATE ROAD" below.

The other side showcases the 1922 Virginia Route 23 sign. This design, in contrast, is circular. A white background features a black ring and prominently displays "VIRGINIA" arched above, with a large, bold "23" centered. This circular design represents a standardized and recognizable form for Virginia state route signage.

Meaning and Symbolism

The juxtaposition of these two signs offers a glimpse into a bygone era of American road travel. The inclusion of both signs simultaneously creates a visual representation of how the road systems were structured, before the unified U.S. highway system. The WV design represents the early, text-based, and functional approach to road marking, while the VA design shows a standardized, more visually-oriented approach.

The design, with its representation of both state route markers, speaks to the unique identity of each state, and the pre-U.S. highway era of road travel. This pint glass artwork evokes a sense of historical nostalgia, for the days when a road sign was more than just a direction – it was a statement of place and origin.

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.
