Crimson, gold and a touch of green pick out the details. A heart shape anchors the composition, with a circular badge and a shield layered inside it. On the shield sit ships on a red and white field, and above them a blue ensign with a Union Jack canton. Lion and dragon supporters flank a colonial coat of arms, one in gold on each side. The words HONG KONG appear as clear lettering, and the dates 1959-1997 mark the span of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eurovision heart is the emblem of the European song contest, a pan-continental celebration of music. Set against Hong Kong's heraldic imagery, it creates a deliberate crossover between a musical event and a regional history. The coat of arms, ensign and ships belong to the colonial period, when Hong Kong was a British territory. The dates 1959 to 1997 bracket that era, ending with the handover to China in 1997, which is why the design names China as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pint-sized glass is held and turned constantly, so the artwork travels around its curve rather than sitting flat in view. The heart and crest are placed to be read as the glass moves, and the navy field gives the scene weight when it catches the light on the table. Shaking, pouring and passing it across a bar all keep the emblem in motion, which suits a design built from badges and borders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":51759526248728,"sku":"18656025903008026805","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/14966560080705677271_2048.jpg?v=1772880058","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/eurovision-song-contest-heart-hong-kong-white-1959-1997-china-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
