Flag of Nakatsu Oita (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design is a flat, modern emblem: a black three-bladed propeller sitting inside a circular frame, set against a bold white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white do all the work here, with white covering roughly two-thirds of the design and black the rest. The three-bladed propeller dominates the centre, its sharp geometric forms turning around a single point. A ring encloses the mechanism, giving the whole composition a clean, contained silhouette. Three dots sit within the arrangement, adding a small rhythm of punctuation. There is no lettering, so the image reads through shape alone, with minimal, industrial lines that feel crisp at close range.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is the flag of Nakatsu, a region within Oita Prefecture on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Its emblem is the recognised regional mark used by the local government and community to represent their municipal identity. Municipal flags like this one compress a place into a single symbol, and the propeller and ring here give Nakatsu a graphic signature that is instantly distinct from the flags around it. The design is modern in era and formal in mood, the kind of civic sign that belongs to a town's everyday life as much as its official records.

Made for the Hand and the Toast

A shot glass is small, held close and lifted at eye level, so the emblem is seen almost face-on and at arm's length. The circular frame suits the round rim, and the propeller reads clearly from the drinker's side of the table. It is a fine conversation piece for anyone with a connection to Oita or a fondness for regional symbols, and a pleasant way to keep a little piece of Japanese municipal design on the bar cart.

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.
