Zeichen 514-22 Verschwenkungstafel kurze Verschwenkung - mit Gegenverkehr (Germany) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz
This is a German road guidance board, drawn in flat, high-contrast black and white, that tells drivers to swing gently sideways around a work zone.
Visual Elements & Composition
A tall, rounded-corner rectangle stands upright and gives the whole design its frame. Black and white split the field almost evenly, with white dominating at roughly four-fifths of the surface. Along the centre, three upward-pointing S-curved arrows fan out and merge into parallel lanes, while a single downward-pointing S-curve in the opposing direction marks the lane for oncoming traffic. There is no lettering to read, only the arrows and their clean geometry, which makes the layout instantly legible at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
The board belongs to the Verkehrszeichenkatalog (VzKat), the official catalogue of German traffic signs, and follows the rules of the StVO and its administrative regulations. Design 514-22 signals a short lateral shift to the right: three lanes of travel are routed beside a single lane for oncoming vehicles. Its function is practical: in road construction zones, it guides cars safely around the work area. The utilitarian, instructional mood is the point. Every stroke is there to be understood quickly by a driver moving at speed.
On the Pint Glass
A pint glass offers a tall, curving surface that wraps all the way around, so the arrows travel around the glass as you turn it in your hand. Each lane merges and splits as the glass rotates, turning a traffic diagram into a small, cheeky conversation piece for the bar cart or the kitchen shelf. It makes a warm, slightly wry gift for anyone who has ever found themselves in a roadworks detour.

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.
