Flag of Nakago Niigata 1986-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the flag of Nakago village, a small community in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, drawn as a single bold emblem on a plain field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep green fills most of the field, with white taking up the remaining share in the emblem. The layout is centred and uncluttered: one symbol sits in the middle of the flag and nothing competes with it. Its shapes are simple and flat, built from a circle, an angular abstract form, a stylised letter C and a winged figure. There is no lettering to read, so the eye moves from the outline of the circle to the interlocking strokes inside it.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem was the village's own civic mark, chosen to express local identity. The flag was adopted on June 30, 1986, when Nakago, then a village in Nakakubiki District, was an independent municipality. It stayed in use until January 1, 2005, when the village merged into the expanded city of Jōetsu. That short window of roughly nineteen years is what gives the design its character: it is a record of a community that no longer exists on the map, rendered in the plain language of civic symbolism.

Made for the Mixing Glass Lover

A glass like this is held close and turned in the hand, so the emblem reads at arm's length rather than across a room. The curved surface wraps the green field around the whole vessel, and the white emblem catches the light as the glass tilts. Give it to someone who appreciates a small piece of local history with a cheeky twist: a reminder that even the quietest flags have a story to tell, one sip at a time.

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.
