Flag of Horoizumi Hokkaido 1959-1970 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This is a flat, confident piece of municipal heraldry: a blue emblem bearing the name of a former Hokkaido town, set on a clean white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers most of the design, roughly seven parts in ten, and the blue emblem takes the rest. Nothing competes with it. The emblem is built around a ring, and at its heart sits a stylised kanji character, the 泉 of Horoizumi's name, drawn with the clean edges of flat vector work. The palette is strictly blue and white, so the composition reads instantly from a distance and stays crisp up close.

Meaning & Symbolism

The town's name, Horoizumi (幌泉), is the emblem's whole message. Flags like this were the everyday shorthand of local government in mid-century Japan, a way of declaring identity in a single image. This version was officially adopted on 1 January 1959 and remained in use until its abolition on 14 April 1970, so the design captures one specific chapter of Hokkaido's regional history. The restraint of the blue and white reflects the sober, official tone of that era's municipal symbols.

Made for Slow Pours and Quiet Toasts

A flag built on a single centred emblem suits a glass that is seen all the way round. As the drink level drops, the blue ring and kanji stay in view against the clear sides, so the emblem becomes part of the act of pouring and sipping. It makes a witty, slightly cheeky gift for anyone who loves Japanese graphic design or a conversation starter with a story behind it.

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.
