Zeichen 365-56 - Autobahngasthaus 600x600 StVO 2013 (Germany) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This design takes a single piece of German road signage and turns it into a bold, graphic keepsake: a crossed knife and fork set inside a square of blue, the universal sign for a motorway restaurant.
Visual Elements & Composition
The composition is strict and uncluttered. A square panel carries a prominent dark blue border that frames a clean white field, and at its centre sits a solid black pictogram of a knife and fork crossed in an X. Blue makes up roughly half the palette, white around a third, and black the rest, so the symbol reads instantly from a distance. There is no text or numeral to compete with the image; the pictogram does all the work.
Meaning & Symbolism
This is sign number 365-56 under the Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung, the German traffic code, and it tells drivers that a restaurant or inn waits at the next motorway service area or truck stop. Its real job is to help travellers unfamiliar with the region find a meal without searching. The flat, modern pictogram style and the blue-and-white colour scheme are the familiar language of German highway wayfinding, the quiet, practical graphics that guide millions of journeys.
Made for the Pint Glass
A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that you hold for a long evening, so the square panel wraps around the vessel and the centred knife and fork sit at eye level as the glass is lifted. The blue border frames the glass like a sign on a roadside, and the crossed cutlery turns every refill into a small invitation to stop for a bite. It is a fitting pick for anyone who has ever been grateful to see that particular pictogram after a long stretch of road.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 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 / ≈0.47 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.
- Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
- Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
- 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.
