Flag of Kiyomi Gifu 1972-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of the former village of Kiyomi in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, built around a single stylized emblem set on a plain field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Burgundy covers most of the flag, roughly four-fifths of its surface, with white taking the remainder as the emblem's contrasting line. The composition is flat and vector-clean, with no shading or texture. The mon emblem sits at the centre and dominates the field. Around it, a stylised bird, a crescent, and simple circular and triangular forms are arranged with deliberate economy, so every shape carries weight and nothing is decorative for its own sake.

Meaning & Symbolism

A mon is a family or community crest in the Japanese heraldic tradition, and this one was the unique symbolic mark of Kiyomi. The flag was adopted on April 21, 1972, when Kiyomi was an independent village, and it served that community until the village merged into the city of Takayama in 2005. That span of thirty-three years is the period the artwork records. The design reflects the regional identity and administrative history of Kiyomi, and it stands as a visual link to the area's heritage before the merger. Its minimalist, symbolic approach is characteristic of Japanese local heraldry, where a few well-chosen forms do the work of a longer story.

On the Mixing Glass

A glass like this is held at close range and turned slowly in the hand, so the emblem is read in pieces as the light moves across the curve. The burgundy field gives the crest a strong presence against the drink, and the bird and crescent appear and disappear as the glass rotates. Printed on a vessel meant for close, repeated viewing, the flag becomes something to study over time rather than glance at once.

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.
