Flag of Sanwa Niigata 1965-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

A deep purple municipal flag with a white curvilinear emblem, a triple shield knot set against a triangular form.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep purple covers roughly four-fifths of the design, with white forming the emblem that sits on it. The white shapes include a triangle and flowing curved lines, which combine into a triple shield knot at the centre. The field is flat and uniform, with no border or lettering, so the emblem holds the whole composition. The contrast between the dark purple and the crisp white makes the knot stand out clearly.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is the municipal flag of Sanwa, a village in the Nakakubiki District of Niigata Prefecture. It was adopted on November 20, 1965, and served as the village's emblem until Sanwa was merged in 2005 and became part of Jōetsu City. The flag therefore records a local identity that existed for four decades and a boundary that no longer appears on the map. The purple and white of the design give the emblem a formal, historical character.

A Triangle Turned in the Hand

A mixing glass is lifted and tilted with each pour, so the triangular form and the curving knot are seen from changing angles. The deep purple reads boldly through the clear glass, and the flowing lines suit a vessel with no sharp edges. Each tilt brings a different part of the emblem into view.

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.
