Flag of Katsunuma Yamanashi 1963-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the historical municipal flag of the former town of Katsunuma, in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, a flat vector emblem set on a deep purple field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Purple fills roughly 85 per cent of the design, with white making up the rest. The emblem sits dead centre, so the eye lands on it before anything else. It combines a shield outline with a trefoil and a Japanese mon, and the characters 勝沼町 (Katsunuma-chō) appear within the mark. The layout is spare and symmetrical, with no border or decoration competing with the emblem.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was adopted on 1 October 1963 and served as the town's symbol until 1 November 2005, when Katsunuma merged with Enzan and Yamato to form the city of Koshu. Its emblem is a record of a single community's identity, now preserved in a flag that no longer flies. Katsunuma is also known across Japan as a major centre of viticulture and winemaking, and that heritage gives the purple field a fitting resonance: it is the colour of a good red, set against a town built on grapes.

On the Mixing Glass

A tall, narrowing vessel gives the flag a surface to wrap around, so the centred emblem stays upright as the glass is lifted and turned. The purple field fills the view when the glass is held at eye level, and the white emblem stands out against it. It is a quiet, graphic piece for anyone who appreciates the history behind a simple flag, and a thoughtful pick for a wine lover or a friend with a fondness for Japanese design.

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.
