Flag of San Francisco California 1940 (United States) Pint Glass 16oz

The San Francisco civic flag as it stood in 1940, with a phoenix rising from flames above a scroll banner.

Visual Elements & Composition

A white field fills most of the flag, and gold, red and brown appear in the crest and the flames. The phoenix sits at the top of the composition, with its wings spread and the fire curling beneath it. A heraldic eagle figure and a scroll banner anchor the lower half, and the scroll carries the motto in short lines: ORO EN PAZ on one run and EN GUERRA on the next. The flat vector treatment gives the shapes firm edges, and the warm metallic gold stands out sharply against the white.

Meaning & Symbolism

A phoenix rising from flames is a long-standing emblem of renewal, and in San Francisco it is closely tied to the city's rebuilding after the fires that swept it in the early twentieth century. The heraldic eagle and the scroll place the flag within a tradition of civic heraldry. The motto translates as "gold in peace, iron in war", a line that balances the city's commercial life with its readiness to defend itself. The 1940 date marks this version as a snapshot of how the city presented itself in that decade.

Shaping the Mixing Glass Experience

A mixing glass is tall and straight-sided, so the phoenix sits at the upper part of the glass and the scroll wraps the lower body as the vessel is turned. The gold and red burn bright against the clear glass, and the white ground keeps the motto legible from the outside. The design uses the glass's full height, which makes it a natural fit for a piece of civic heraldry on a vessel meant to be held and lifted.

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.
