Flag of Nakajima Ehime 1959-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This is a flag built from almost nothing: a plain white field, a single orange emblem at its centre, and not a single word to get in the way.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers most of the design, roughly seven parts in ten, and the orange takes up the rest in one charged shape at the middle. The emblem is a five-petalled flower with a stylised star set within it, so the eye lands straight on the centre and stays there. The layout is strictly geometric: a pentagon and a circle organise the mark, and the flat vector finish leaves no shading or texture. Nothing competes for attention, which gives the piece a calm, formal presence.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is the shō, the official municipal badge of the former town of Nakajima in Ehime Prefecture, Japan. The flag was adopted on 31 March 1959 and flown until 1 January 2005, when Nakajima merged into Matsuyama City. That merger is why the design now reads as a record: it preserves the local identity and separate administrative standing the town held for nearly five decades. A simple white field with one emblem was the town's way of saying who it was, in a single glance.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, lifted in one hand and held close to the face, so the flag is seen at the closest possible range. The orange emblem sits right where the eye falls as the glass is raised, and the clean white ground frames it like a stamp on a letter. It is a neat piece of local history for a toast, a shelf or a travel keepsake, and the design suits the glass's scale because there is so little on it.

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.
