Flag of Maizuru Kyoto 1897-1943 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the historical municipal flag of Maizuru, a town in Kyoto Prefecture, as it flew from 1897 until 1943.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat, graphic composition built on two colours, red and white. White fills most of the field, with red taking up a smaller share, and the whole arrangement is set within a circular badge. At its centre sits a crane, the bird rendered in a simple, stylised silhouette, placed alongside a sun motif. The arrangement is formal and symmetrical, with no ornament beyond the emblem itself, which gives the piece a crisp, modern look despite its historical source.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem belonged to the former town and city of Maizuru, and it carried the identity of that community for nearly half a century. The crane and the sun are the core symbols: the crane is a long-standing emblem of longevity and good fortune in Japanese tradition, while the sun marks brightness and a sense of place. Together they express civic pride and regional heritage. The flag was retired in May 1943, when the municipality merged with Higashi-Maizuru, so the design now stands as a record of a distinct local era in the Kyoto region.

Made for Lifting, Sipping and Sharing

A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that you hold for a long evening, so the emblem is seen in full as the glass turns in the hand. The circular badge suits a rounded wall of glass, and the crane rises up the side where it catches the light through the drink. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves Japanese design or local history, and it gives a quiet, archival talking point every time it is poured into.

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.
