Flag of Kure Hiroshima (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Kure, a coastal city in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, as a bold, flat emblem in two colours.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark blue fills most of the design, with white forming the remaining fifth, so the flag reads as a single deep field with a clean light mark. A twelve-pointed star sits at the centre, supported by a circle, and the Japanese kanji for ichi is set within the composition. The shapes are geometric and the edges are crisp, with no shading or texture to break them up. The result is restrained and modern, built from only a few elements.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag is the civic emblem of Kure, and it carries the identity of the city's local government in the same way that municipal flags across Japan do. Its design follows the formal conventions of Japanese regional administration, where a simple sign and a clear field make a city recognisable in public life. The star and circle are the marks the city chose to represent itself, and the kanji adds a direct link to the written language of the place. Together they stand for a coastal community's pride and its long presence in the Hiroshima region.

Understanding the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is tall and narrow, and it is held close, turned in the hand while the drink is stirred and poured. The emblem wraps the curved side of the glass, so the star and circle travel around the vessel rather than sitting flat on a page. Each time the glass is lifted, a different part of the flag comes into view, and the design reads as the glass moves. It is a quiet, considered mark for someone who appreciates a well-made piece of civic heraldry, and a thoughtful gift for a friend who notices small details.

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.
