Flag of Oda Fukui 1961-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders the historical municipal flag of Oda, a town in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, built around the town's emblem in flat, confident blue and yellow.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the field, covering roughly four-fifths of the design, with yellow reserved for a smaller set of accents that stand out sharply against it. The motif is a stylized emblem built from oval and pointed-oval forms and a set of concentric curves, arranged with the symmetry typical of Japanese mon. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. Every line is drawn with clean geometry, so the emblem reads instantly at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is a formal translation of the town's name, Oda, into geometric shape rather than letters. Municipal emblems of this kind were a mid-to-late twentieth-century way of expressing civic identity, and this one was adopted on November 3, 1961, and served the town until 2005. The flag is a record of that period of regional Japanese heraldry, when a place was distilled into a single symbol that residents could recognise on paperwork, banners and public buildings.

Crafted for the Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the emblem is seen at eye level and turned slowly before the drink is poured. Its curves and concentric rings catch the light as the glass moves, and the blue and yellow sit right where the eye lands. This is a design made for a moment of ceremony, a toast to a place few people at the table have visited, and the emblem gives that toast something specific to name.

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.
