Flag of Mugegawa Gifu 1966-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the historical flag of Mugegawa, a municipality in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, as it was used from 1966 to 2005.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark green fills most of the field, with white taking up the remaining space as the emblem's contrasting figures. The composition is centred and flat, built from clean geometric forms: a hexagon and a circle sit at the heart of the design, supported by a heptagon. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. Each shape is placed with the restraint of a civic mark meant to be recognised at a glance, and the result reads as bold, orderly and deliberately simple.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag belongs to the twentieth century's civic branding, when Japanese towns and municipalities adopted emblems that stood for their administrative identity. The symbols carry the region's geographic and local character rather than decoration, so the design works as a record of how Mugegawa presented itself during those four decades. Its formal, commemorative mood reflects the dignity typical of regional emblems from that era, and it ties the artwork directly to the heritage of Gifu Prefecture in the late twentieth century.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the emblem is seen at eye level and turned slowly in the hand before the first sip. The circle and hexagon sit neatly within a compact round form, which suits a face this size. Pour it, raise it, and the flag is the last thing you see before the toast. It makes a cheeky keepsake for anyone who collects places, and a conversation starter for the home bar.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
