Flag of Omaezaki Shizuoka 1961-2004 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the historical municipal flag of Omaezaki in Shizuoka Prefecture, the emblem the town flew from 1961 until 2004.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue fills most of the field, with orange and white providing the accents. The layout is built around a circular badge, and at its centre sits a bold municipal mon, a family-crest style symbol drawn in flat, precise shapes. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. Every line is clean, every edge sharp, and the contrast between the blue ground and the orange and white forms gives the emblem a strong, graphic presence. There is no text to read, so the eye goes straight to the crest.

Meaning & Symbolism

A municipal mon like this one was a way for a town to state its identity in a single image. Its forms carry the local heritage, geography and sense of place that Omaezaki wanted to be recognised by. Japanese civic heraldry of this period favoured restraint: simple geometry, a limited palette and a symbol meant to be understood at a glance. The flag records a particular chapter of the town's history, the years between 1961 and 2004, and its design reflects the mid-century taste for clarity that shaped regional emblems across the country.

Held Close, Read Up Close

A shot glass is small and is lifted to the eye, so the emblem is seen at close range rather than across a room. The circular badge suits that intimacy. Its centred crest stays in view as the glass is raised, and the blue, orange and white stand out clearly against the glass. It is a fitting piece for a conversation over a drink, where the detail of a historic crest is something to point out and talk about.

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.
