Flag of Akabira Hokkaido 1949-1966 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the historical flag of Akabira, a municipality in Hokkaido, Japan, as it was used between 1949 and 1966.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is built on a stylised cross emblem. Four diamond-shaped arms in solid black meet at the centre, and each arm carries a white cross-shaped cutout, so the black reads as a bold geometric frame around the white. At the heart sits a circular badge split by horizontal and vertical white bars, and a ring of notched, cog-like teeth surrounds it. The palette is strictly black and white on an off-white ground, rendered in flat vector shapes with rotational symmetry that keeps the eye turning around the centre.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem served as the civic symbol of Akabira during the mid-twentieth century, a period when the municipality was defining its local administrative identity. The diamonds and cross give the composition a formal, heraldic character, while the central disc and cog-like ring signal the mechanical, community-driven work of local government. Flags of this kind were designed to be read at a glance, and this one records the official layout the local administration adopted during those years.

Designed for the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is a tall vessel you hold close, lift, stir and pour from, so the emblem wraps a curved surface that is seen in pieces as it turns in the hand. The black arms and white cutouts catch the light as the glass moves, and the central badge comes into view each time it is raised. For anyone with a link to Hokkaido or an interest in Japanese civic history, the flag gives the glass a story to tell at the table.

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.
