Flag of Nishiazai Shiga 1955-2010 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This is a flat, confident emblem: a single dark teal field carrying a white crest, a design built from one central circle and a handful of clean botanical marks.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark teal covers most of the composition, roughly 85 percent of the field, with white taking the remaining share as the emblem's linework. Everything is rendered in flat vector style, so the crest reads as pure shape rather than texture. The emblem sits centred and is organised around a circle, giving the layout a settled, symmetrical balance. There is no lettering to read; the design speaks entirely through its geometric mon, which is what makes it so immediately recognisable.

Meaning & Symbolism

The crest is the town emblem, or machi-shō, of Nishiazai in Shiga Prefecture, and it gathers the place's natural identity into one mark. The azalea is the designated town flower, the sasanqua is the designated town tree, and the bush warbler is the designated town bird. Together they tie the community to its botanical and birdsong heritage. The flag was adopted on April 1, 1955, and stayed in official use until January 1, 2010, when Nishiazai merged into Nagahama City. That span gives this design its formal, historical character: it records a town that no longer exists on the map, and the crest carries its memory forward.

Crafted for the Hand and the Glass

A pint glass wraps its design around a tall, curved surface that you turn and drink from, so the crest is seen in passing rather than studied flat. A circular mon suits that rotation well, since its outline holds its shape from every side of the glass. Pour a drink, lift it, and the emblem stays at the centre of your view. It is a quiet piece of Japanese heraldry for anyone who likes their glassware with a little history behind it.

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.
