Flag of Chiran Kagoshima 1973-2007 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the flag Chiran, a former town in Kagoshima Prefecture, flew from 1973 until it merged into Minamikyushu in 2007. It is a single emblem set on a flat field, drawn with the restraint of a municipal seal.

Visual Elements & Composition

Two colours do all the work here. Green covers roughly two-thirds of the flag, and a warm yellow takes up the rest, giving the piece a clean, sunlit balance. The stylised emblem is a circle, a shape that anchors the whole composition and draws the eye to the centre. Nothing is cluttered. Every edge is crisp and every form is flat, the look of modern vector graphics translated faithfully from the original layout.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem belongs to Chiran's municipal identity, the visual shorthand a town used to signal itself on civic occasions for more than three decades. Its adoption on 21 August 1973 and its retirement in December 2007 mark the years Chiran stood as an independent municipality. Read today, the flag is a documentary record of late twentieth-century regional life in southern Japan, preserved in the colours and geometry the town chose for itself.

On the Mixing Glass

A tall, narrowing vessel gives the emblem a long, curved surface to travel around. The circle sits in the middle of the design, so it stays in view as the glass is lifted and turned in the hand. Each pour or sip brings the green and yellow back into focus, turning an everyday drinking glass into a small piece of Chiran's history on the bar cart or kitchen counter.

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.
