Flag of Okinawa Prefecture 15 May-13 October 1972 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders the flag of Okinawa Prefecture as a clean, graphic emblem: a wide white field carrying three concentric circles at its centre.

Visual Elements & Composition

The layout is spare and deliberate. A white ground fills the frame, and a central emblem built from three nested circles draws the eye straight to the middle. The outer and inner rings are red, the middle ring is white, and the whole piece reads in a flat, modern vector style. Blue appears as the dominant tone in the record, so the palette feels calm and formal rather than loud. There is no text or numerals; the composition relies entirely on shape and spacing.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each ring carries a meaning. The outermost red circle stands for the Pacific Ocean that surrounds the prefecture. The middle white circle forms the letter "O" for Okinawa and also suggests a circle of people, a image of peace and harmony. The innermost red circle represents the prefecture's potential for development and progress. The emblem was adopted on 15 May 1972, the day Okinawa returned to Japanese sovereignty, and the flag itself was officially adopted on 13 October 1972. The design is a reproduction of that 1972 emblem, and it is one of the most compact ways to tell a regional story in a single image.

Made for the Shot Glass in Hand

A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in one motion, so the emblem sits right at eye level as it is lifted. The three rings are read at a glance, the red circles framing the white centre just as the flag does, which makes this a fitting keepsake for a toast, a souvenir shelf or a friend who loves a story told in symbols.

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.
