Flag of Otoshibe Hokkaido 1915-1957 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the historical flag of Otoshibe, a region of Hokkaido, as it was used between 1915 and 1957, drawn as a single black and white motif.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, with black used for the central figure. That figure is a five-petalled rosette with notched petals, a stamen with a central dot and five radiating filaments at its heart. The drawing is a flat vector line icon with radial symmetry, so every part of the composition balances around the centre. There is no text or numeral in the design.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag belongs to the early twentieth century in northern Japan, and it records the civic identity that Otoshibe carried during its 1915 to 1957 period. The design stands as local historical documentation of that flag, showing the regional symbols in use before the town's later emblem took their place. It is an archival image, and its meaning rests on that record of the local administration.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is lifted and turned as it is stirred, so the central rosette is seen from several angles as the glass moves. The black lines sit cleanly on the white field, and the figure stays readable when the glass is held level at eye height. It is a fitting image for a vessel used for measured, repeated handling, where a precise, symmetrical mark is what the eye returns to.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
