Flag of Nishibiwajima Aichi 1969-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This is a flat, green municipal emblem built around a single bold geometric form: a stylised letter C that sits at the centre of the composition and carries the whole design.

Visual Elements & Composition

Green covers nearly half the surface of the artwork, so the colour does most of the work here. The emblem is drawn in clean, flat vector shapes with high-contrast edges, which keeps the outline crisp at any scale. Its arrangement is symmetrical and deliberate, with nothing decorative added beyond the central motif. The result reads quickly, the way a good piece of modernist graphic art should.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem belongs to Nishibiwajima, a former town in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was adopted in 1969 and used until the town was consolidated in 2005, so it marks a specific chapter of local civic identity. Japanese municipal heraldry often turns geography or community values into simple symbolic shapes, and this design follows that tradition. Its formal, late twentieth-century character is the record of a town that once stood on its own.

On the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and lifted close to the eye, so the emblem is seen at near range and from above as the drink is poured. The green C falls directly within that view, making the design feel like a private detail rather than a poster. It is a good conversation starter for anyone who enjoys Japanese regional history or minimalist graphics, and a fitting pick for a gift for a bartender or a traveller who collects places.

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.
