帝國陸軍の階級肩章中尉 Pint Glass Design

This pint glass celebrates the rank of Chūi (中尉), or First Lieutenant, within the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) from 1868 to 1945. The design meticulously replicates the distinctive shoulder board insignia worn by these junior officers.

Visual Elements

The centerpiece of the design is a single, prominent star. This star, rendered in a crisp, gold color, symbolizes the rank of First Lieutenant. The star is set against a field of color, which would have represented the specific branch of service within the IJA. The chosen background color on the glass provides the backdrop to complement the bright gold star, ensuring its prominence.

The design faithfully recreates the shape of the shoulder board (kenshō), which would have been worn on the tunic of the uniform. The artwork mimics the precise placement of the star on the board. The careful attention to detail ensures historical accuracy and authenticity.

Meaning and Symbolism

The representation of the star is not simply decorative. It immediately identifies the rank of the officer. The use of a single star signifies a level of leadership and responsibility within the IJA. By adopting the insignia of the Chūi rank, the glass becomes a commemorative piece, honoring the service and dedication of these junior officers.

The overall design pays homage to a significant period in Japanese military history. The imagery invites reflection on the history, traditions, and the sacrifices made by the Imperial Japanese Army.

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.

  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.
