Flag of Muikaichi Shimane 1970-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders the municipal flag of Muikaichi, a town in Shimane Prefecture, as it flew from 1970 to 2005, reduced to a bold, flat graphic of deep red and gold.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark red fills most of the field, with gold taking up a smaller share as the single accent. The composition is minimalist: a gold crescent moon and a circle sit within the red, joined by an abstract figure that keeps the layout uncluttered. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. The flat vector treatment means every edge is crisp, and the restrained palette gives the whole image a formal, dignified weight.

Meaning & Symbolism

Flags of this kind belong to vexillology, the study of flag design, and to the wider tradition of Japanese local heraldry, where a single emblem stands in for a town's identity and civic pride. The crescent and circle are symbols chosen to represent the community, and the red and gold carry the formal tone typical of municipal insignia. This flag marks a specific thirty-five-year chapter in the administrative history of Muikaichi, before later municipal consolidations changed the region's divisions. It is a record of a town's identity at a particular moment in time.

Cheers to a Small Piece of History

A shot glass is small, held close and turned in the fingers before the toast, which suits a flag rendered at a compact scale. The red and gold sit right at eye level, so the emblem reads clearly as the glass is raised. It is a conversation starter for the home bar, and a memento for anyone with a connection to Shimane Prefecture or an interest in the history of its towns.

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.
