Flag of Muraoka Hyogo 1959-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal emblem of Muraoka, a former town in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and it reads as a crisp, confident piece of civic graphics.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep red fills most of the field, with white taking up the rest. That high-contrast pairing gives the emblem its immediate punch. The artwork is a flat vector graphic built from a minimalist, stylised monogram set on a strict central axis. Its geometry is balanced and symmetrical, with clean edges and no decorative clutter, so every shape earns its place.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem served as the identity of Muraoka from 1959 until the town was consolidated in 2005. Japanese municipal design of that period leaned on geometric balance and symbolic abstraction, and this piece follows that tradition closely. It stands as a record of regional pride and local governance during the years Muraoka ran as an independent municipality, which makes it a favourite reference for vexillology enthusiasts and anyone drawn to mid-twentieth-century graphic design.

Shaping the Glass Around the Emblem

A shot glass is small, held close, and drunk from in a single moment, so the emblem gets a closer look than most designs ever do. The red and white shapes sit right at eye level as the glass is lifted, rewarding a second glance between rounds. Bring it out when you want to talk about a corner of Japanese local history that most people never knew existed, and let the conversation start from the red and white on the glass.

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.
