Flag of Gosen Niigata 1950-2006 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design renders the municipal flag of Gosen, in Niigata, Japan, as it flew from the city's founding in the mid-20th century until the merger of 2006.

Visual Elements & Composition

A solid field of deep dark blue fills almost the whole design, with white reserved for a small share of the layout. The eye goes straight to a central emblem built from concentric circles and a segmented ring, drawn in flat vector shapes with no shading or texture. Nothing competes with it. The restraint is the point: the flag is a clean, geometric mark meant to be recognised at a glance, and this artwork keeps that clarity intact.

Meaning & Symbolism

At the heart of the emblem sits the kanji 五 (Go), enclosed by 泉 (Spring). Together they carry ideas of harmonious administration and regional development, the aims a young municipality wanted its identity to express. The flag dates to the period before the 3 June 2006 merger of Gosen City and Muramatsu Town. When the two towns combined, a new flag with a white field and a blue and green tulip emblem replaced it, which makes this design a record of one specific chapter in the region's civic history.

Reading the Emblem Across the Glass

A pint glass gives this emblem a tall, curved surface to wrap around, so the concentric rings stay whole and the kanji reads as you turn the glass in hand. Its dark blue field turns the whole vessel into a single bold block of colour on the table, with the white emblem standing out whenever the light catches it. Pour a drink and the flag becomes part of the ritual of raising a glass.

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.
