Flag of Kita Hokkaido 1949-2006 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the flag that Kita Hokkaido flew from 1949 until 2006, a regional emblem drawn in bold, flat shapes.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark indigo fills almost the entire field, so the colour reads as a deep night sky behind the emblem. Set into it is a golden yellow ring with a gap at its top, crossed by three horizontal yellow bars. A small white glyph sits at the centre, built from two interlocking vertical bars with horizontal crossbars. The composition is symmetrical and restrained, with a circular badge and square-ish field doing all the work. Nothing is decorative beyond the emblem itself.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was the official emblem of a local government in northern Hokkaido, the island at Japan's northern edge. Its ring and crossing bars signal a unified civic identity, and the white glyph marks the administrative mark of the district. Because it was in use for almost six decades, it stands as a record of post-war local governance and of how Hokkaido's municipalities shaped their own identities. The 2006 end date gives the design a commemorative edge, preserving a symbol that no longer flies.

Raising a Glass to a Retired Flag

A mixing glass is tall and smooth-sided, so the emblem wraps the full curve of the vessel rather than sitting on a flat face. Each time it is lifted to stir or pour, the ring and bars turn in the hand, and the design becomes a quiet talking point at the bar cart. It suits a host with a taste for regional history and a good story to tell over the second round.

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.
