Flag of Oshimizu Ishikawa 1965-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the historical flag of Oshimizu Town, a municipal standard that flew over the town from 1965 until its merger into Hodatsushimizu in 2005.

Visual Elements & Composition

A solid field of bright blue fills almost the whole design, roughly four-fifths of it, with white taking up the remainder. Nothing competes with the centre. The town's emblem sits at the middle of the blue, a crisp white star-shaped symbol rendered in flat, clean shapes. The layout is strictly symmetrical and uncluttered, with no border, no lettering and no decoration beyond the emblem itself. The result reads at a glance, which is exactly what a municipal flag needs to do.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is the heart of the flag, standing for Oshimizu's civic identity during its four decades as an independent town in Hakui District, Ishikawa Prefecture. The blue field is a calm, steady backdrop that lets the symbol carry the message of local belonging. Flags of this kind were designed to be recognised quickly by residents and visitors alike, and this one captures a specific chapter of Japanese local history, from its adoption in 1965 to the merger that ended the town's separate existence in 2005.

Where the Artwork Meets the Glass

A shot glass is small enough to hold in one hand and lift to eye level, so the flag is seen at close range rather than from across a room. The emblem lands directly in your line of sight as you raise the glass, and the blue field wraps the rim of the glass in a continuous band of colour. Each time it is poured, the flag is the first thing you see, which suits a design built around one clear central symbol.

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.
