Flag of Hokota Ibaraki 1955-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the flag that the town of Hokota, in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, flew as its official emblem for half a century, from 1955 until the town became a city in 2005.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue fills most of the field, with white taking up the remainder. The flat vector drawing is built from a few bold shapes: a shield, a crescent, and a stylised bird set against them. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. The shield gives the emblem its structure, the crescent curves across it, and the bird sits as the focal point. The result reads cleanly from a distance, which is the point of a civic flag.

Meaning & Symbolism

Municipal flags of this kind were designed to stand for a community's identity in a single glance. This one was adopted on 1 December 1955, when Hokota-machi was a town in Ibaraki, and it served as the official symbol of that municipality until the 2005 change to city status. It records a specific administrative era in the region's modern history, the mid-to-late twentieth century, before the current city flag replaced it. The emblem's Japanese mon-style motif ties it to the visual language of local heraldry in Japan.

Raise a Glass to a Town's Old Banner

A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that wraps all the way around, so the emblem is seen in full whichever way the glass is turned. The shield and crescent catch the light as the drink is lifted, and the blue reads as a deep band against the glass. Hold it up and the old town flag becomes a small, personal piece of local history, something to show friends and talk about over a drink.

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.
