Flag of Maetsue Oita 1974-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the civic emblem of Maetsue Village, a bold yellow sign built from a black circle and a simple Y-shaped mark.

Visual Elements & Composition

Bright yellow fills roughly 85 percent of the artwork, with black making up the remainder. The flat vector drawing places a black circle at its centre and a Y-shaped figure within it, so the eye lands on one clear focal point with nothing competing for attention. The lines are crisp and the forms are reduced to their essentials, giving the piece the restraint of a modern graphic mark rather than a decorative pattern.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem belonged to Maetsue Village in Ōita Prefecture, within the Hita District of Japan. It was officially adopted on January 26, 1974, and stayed in use until March 22, 2005, when Maetsue merged into the city of Hita. Its geometry speaks to the municipal identity of that era, when a village presented itself through a single, deliberately simple sign. Today the design works as a record of local administration and regional heritage, a small piece of civic history drawn in primary colours.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is a tall, curved vessel that the hand wraps around, so the emblem is seen as you lift and turn it rather than from a distance. The yellow field sits right in the line of sight during every pour, and the central black circle tracks around the curve as the glass moves. Its clean, graphic lines suit a surface that is always in motion, giving the emblem a fresh way to be read each time the glass is picked up.

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.
