Flag of Commodore of Beiyang Fleet 1890-1909 (China) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the command flag of the Commodore of the Beiyang Fleet, flown in China between 1890 and 1909, as a bold, flat graphic of stacked colour bands.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is built from horizontal tricolour bands in red, amber yellow and blue, with a white field carrying the rank insignia. Each band is rendered as a clean, flat vector shape with no shading, so the eye reads the composition at once. A sharp arrow-point cut at the fly end gives the rectangle its directional edge, and the striped arrangement keeps the whole image crisp and orderly. Nothing decorative competes with the structure: colour and line do all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Beiyang Fleet was the most powerful modern navy in East Asia during the late Qing period, and its commodore's flag marked rank and command authority at sea. Flags of this kind were the visual shorthand of a fleet: a viewer on deck or on another ship could identify who held command from a distance. Reproducing the flag preserves the formal visual language of the late Qing naval forces across the nineteen years it was in use, a record of how maritime hierarchy was signalled at the turn of the twentieth century.

Made for the Hand That Holds the Glass

A pint glass wraps a tall, curved surface, so the flag's horizontal bands run around the body and meet again as you turn the glass. The arrow-point cut and the stacked stripes follow the vertical sweep of the tumbler, so the design reads as one continuous signal rather than a flat print. Lift it, turn it, and the command colours of the Beiyang Fleet pass in front of you one band at a time.

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.
