WV-43 1922 (Road Sign) Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the early days of West Virginia's highway system, offering a glimpse into the utilitarian and historically accurate design of a 1922 WV-43 road marker. The design reflects the state's initial foray into numbered state roads, before standardized metal signs were commonplace.

Visual Elements

The artwork faithfully recreates the inferred appearance of a 1922 WV-43 sign, as described in historical accounts. The design features two horizontal bands of crimson red, each six inches wide, framing a central white band twelve inches in width. Bold, dark numerals, "43", are prominently stenciled within the white band, mirroring the simple, functional style of the era. The absence of additional text like ā€œWVā€ further emphasizes the sign's minimalistic design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design speaks to a specific moment in West Virginia's history, representing the birth of its organized highway network. The color palette—red, white, and a dark numeral—embodies the standard road marking policy of the time, providing a visual connection to the past. This imagery symbolizes the evolution of West Virginia's infrastructure, recalling a period of practical innovation and the earliest efforts to guide travelers across the state.

Clear 16 oz (ā‰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 — 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 / ā‰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 — 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.
