Flag of Nishiarita Saga 1965-2006 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Nishiarita, a town in Saga Prefecture, Japan, that flew from 1965 until the town merged into Arita in 2006.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is built from just two colours: a deep green that covers most of the field and a crisp white that carries the emblem. The layout is centred and uncluttered, with the municipal symbol placed at the heart of the design. Its clean, flat vector shapes are built from a circle and rectangular forms, so the stylised geometric mark reads quickly and stays sharp at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The central emblem was the town's own civic signature, a stylised rendering of Nishiarita's identity used for official representation. Adopted on 1 April 1965, the flag stood for regional heritage and local pride for four decades, before the town's merger into Arita on 1 March 2006 closed that chapter. The formal, minimalist treatment reflects the tradition of Japanese municipal vexillology, where a single well-drawn symbol does the work of a whole civic story.

Made for the Shot Glass in Hand

A shot glass is small, held close and turned toward the eye, so the emblem is seen at arm's length rather than across a room. The green and white read as a bold, compact mark when the glass is lifted, and the circular emblem sits naturally against the rounded walls of the glass. It is a conversation piece for a home bar, a keepsake for anyone with a link to Saga, or a cheeky little souvenir of a town that once had its own flag.

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.
