Flag of Nagaoka Niigata fringed (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Nagaoka, a city in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, with its emblem set in a clean, formal composition and finished with a decorative fringed edge.

Visual Elements & Composition

Orange dominates the artwork, covering roughly seventy percent of the field, with yellow taking about a fifth and blue the remainder. The palette is bold but disciplined. A rectangular field frames the emblem at the centre, and the fringe runs around the edge, adding a ceremonial border to an otherwise minimal layout. The graphic is flat vector work with no shading or texture, so every shape reads crisply. Japanese characters, 長岡市, appear within the design and identify the city by name.

Meaning & Symbolism

The central emblem is a swallow silhouette set within a circle, the crest the city uses to represent itself. Its stylised bird and round form present Nagaoka as a compact, recognisable identity rather than a picture of the landscape. Flags of this kind belong to a civic tradition in which a single symbol carries a whole municipality, and this modern rendering keeps that tradition intact. The fringe reinforces the formal, ceremonial character of the piece.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, lifted to eye level and turned slowly before it is finished. That suits a flag design built on a single central emblem: the crest sits in clear view as the glass is raised, and the fringed border frames it at the rim. Each detail stays legible at close range, so the swallow and characters are read as the glass is held, not from across a room.

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.
