Flag of Irihirose Niigata 2004 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the municipal emblem of Irihirose, a former village in Niigata Prefecture, as it stood in 2004, rendered as a bold, flat red-and-white graphic.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red dominates the design, covering roughly 85 percent of the field, with white taking the rest. The layout is symmetrical and centred, so the eye settles on one point before moving outward. A circle anchors the middle, with a stylised plum blossom built from simple geometric shapes and a kanji-like glyph set inside it. Interlocking rings add a second rhythm around the centre. Every line is clean and every edge is crisp, which gives the emblem its high-contrast punch.

Meaning & Symbolism

Japanese municipal emblems often borrow from local plants, nature and place names, and this one follows that tradition. The plum blossom is a flower with deep roots in Japanese culture, and it signals the identity of the community it represented. The interlocking rings suggest the joining of people and places into one body. This emblem belongs to the administrative life of Irihirose before the regional mergers of the mid-2000s, so it works as a record of a community that no longer exists under its old name.

Designed for the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is used at close range. It is lifted, tilted and poured, so the emblem is seen in motion rather than from across a room. The stylised blossom is best read at this scale, where the central circle and rings hold together as one mark. Every time the glass is turned to pour, the emblem turns with it, making a quiet, cheeky conversation piece for anyone who appreciates a bit of regional history with their drinks.

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.
