Flag of Oseto Nagasaki 1965-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design is a flat, graphic flag built from two colours and a few bold geometric forms, centred on the emblem of the former town of Ōseto in Nagasaki Prefecture.

Visual Elements & Composition

The field is a clean deep blue, with white used for the emblem's shapes. Nothing is decorative for its own sake: a solid circle sits alongside a crescent, and the two read as a single, balanced mark. The layout is centred and symmetrical, so the emblem dominates the whole surface and the eye settles on it immediately. There is no text or numeral in the artwork, only shape and colour.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was the official municipal flag of Ōseto, a town in the Nishisonogi district, and it was formally adopted on May 1, 1965. It flew for forty years as the primary visual identity of the municipality, representing the regional heritage and local identity of the area through traditional heraldic symbolism. Its era closed on April 1, 2005, when Ōseto merged into the city of Saikai, which gives this design the quiet weight of a vanished local administration.

Holding a Piece of Local History

A shot glass is small, held in the palm and lifted close to the eye, so a flat emblem like this reads at exactly the right distance. The circle and crescent sit fully within the glass's round profile, making the design feel like a crest worn in the hand. It is a conversation starter for the home bar, a travel memento from Nagasaki Prefecture, or a cheeky gift for anyone who collects odd corners of Japan.

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.
