Flag of Hōya Tokyo 1967-2001 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This is a formal, minimal emblem: a dark purple field carrying a white double-ring badge, the kind of civic crest that once stood for a Tokyo-area municipality.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark purple covers almost the entire design, with white reserved for a small share of the surface. At its centre sits a circular badge built from two white concentric rings, filled with stylised glyphs that read as a compact, stamped mark rather than a picture. A vertical bar rises above the ring, giving the emblem a clear top and a sense of being raised on a pole. Nothing is decorative beyond that: the composition is flat, symmetrical and economical, with the ring doing all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

Municipal flags in Japan typically carry stylised characters, geometric emblems or local symbols, and this one follows that tradition. It was the official flag of Hōya, a former municipality in Tokyo, from 1967 until 2001, when the town's administrative life changed through merger. The design therefore marks a specific chapter of local government, and its circular badge is a record of how a community chose to identify itself in that period. For anyone interested in regional history or Japanese civic symbols, it is a precise snapshot of a moment that has since passed.

Made for the Pint Glass in Hand

A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that wraps around the eye as you lift it, so the emblem reads in a slow turn rather than all at once. The white rings sit where the light catches the glass, and the dark field becomes the backdrop for whatever is poured inside. Each turn of the glass brings the vertical bar and badge round in sequence, the way a flag is seen passing overhead, which suits a design built on one strong central mark.

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.
