Flag of Nyugawa Gifu 1971-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Nyugawa, a former village in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, that flew from 1971 until the town merged into a larger municipality in 2005.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat vector emblem built on a centred, symmetrical layout. A single circular device sits at the heart of the field, and the surrounding space is left open, so the eye settles on the mark immediately. The palette is restricted to a deep navy blue that dominates the composition, with the emblem's geometry carrying all the detail. Nothing is decorative for its own sake: every line is there to make the symbol read clearly at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

Municipal flags of this period were designed to stand for a place's identity before it changed its boundaries, and this one is no exception. Its circular emblem and formal structure belong to the tradition of Japanese local government heraldry from the late twentieth century, when villages and towns adopted simple, memorable marks to represent their communities. The flag is a record of Nyugawa as an independent local authority, and it preserves that regional history in a single, precise image.

Made for the Shot Glass in Your Hand

A shot glass is small, held close and turned in the fingers, so the emblem is seen up near the eye rather than from across a room. The circular mark suits that intimacy: its centred form sits neatly within the glass and reads cleanly from every side as the glass is lifted. It makes a thoughtful conversation piece for a home bar, or a keepsake for anyone with a connection to Gifu, and a sharp, cheeky reminder that a small object can carry a big piece of local history.

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.
