Flag of Nishiki Hyogo 1960-1999 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Nishiki Town, a community in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, as it flew from 1960 until the town's merger in 1999.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep blue covers most of the field, with white forming the remaining structure. The flat vector style keeps every edge crisp. A stylized trefoil sits at the centre, its three lobes balanced around a single axis, so the eye settles on the middle of the composition. Woven through it is a triquetra-inspired geometric knot, and shield-like arcs frame the emblem. Nothing competes for attention: the design relies entirely on shape and contrast, with no text or numerals.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag served as the visual identity of Nishiki Town during the late twentieth century. Its trilateral symmetry and knotted form gave the municipality a recognisable mark of civic identity, one that expressed local governance and regional pride. Adopted on 1 January 1960, it recorded a particular moment in the administrative history of the area, before Nishiki became part of Sasayama, now Tamba-Sasayama, in 1999. Today it stands as a record of a town that no longer exists on the map in its own right.

Living With the Artwork on a Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is tall and curved, and the emblem wraps around that surface as you turn it in your hand. The blue field reads as one continuous band, while the white geometry catches the light each time the glass moves. The trefoil and knot are best seen up close, at the moment you lift the glass to pour, so the symbol is always part of the ritual of the drink. It is a quiet piece of history that comes out when the work begins and the glass is in use.

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.
