Flag of Choshu domain (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the flag heraldry of the Chōshū Domain, also known as the Hagi Domain, and it does so with a bold, uncluttered diagonal split of red and white.

Visual Elements & Composition

Crimson and white share the field equally. A single diagonal line divides the design into a red triangle filling the upper-right half and a white triangle filling the lower-left half. Nothing else competes with that division, so the eye lands on the slope and follows it across the whole surface. The flat vector treatment keeps the edges crisp and the colours unbroken. The artwork also captures the naval ensign variation, a white field carrying three black stars and the character for "one" (一), which the same restrained palette of red, white and black holds together.

Meaning & Symbolism

These emblems belonged to the Mōri clan, lords of the Chōshū Domain in Nagato Province, in what is now Yamaguchi Prefecture. The clan used them throughout the Edo period (1600–1871), and they came to the fore during the Boshin War (1868–1869), when the domain's forces were among those that shaped the end of the shogunate. The army banner's diagonal division and the naval ensign's stars and numeral were clan identifiers as much as battle markers, which is why they still read as formal and deliberate. The design stands as a tribute to Japanese military history and to the feudal-era clan identities it came from.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is a tall vessel that gets turned in the hand and lifted to the eye, so a diagonal composition suits it well. As the glass rotates, the red and white split shifts and resolves, and the line seems to cut across the curve rather than sit flat on it. Hold it up to the light at the table and the bold division becomes the first thing a guest notices. It is a quietly commanding piece of history for anyone who likes their drinks served with a story.

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.
