Flag of Sawara Hokkaido 1917-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

A sky blue municipal flag for the former town of Sawara in Hokkaido, carrying a white circular emblem of two interlocking curved forms.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sky blue covers the bulk of the field, with white used for the emblem and a narrow share of the surface. The white device is a circular badge made of two comma-like curves that interlock to form a swirl. The layout is a flat rectangle with the badge at the centre, so the eye goes straight to the emblem. The flat vector treatment keeps the curves smooth and the edges sharp.

Meaning & Symbolism

This was the official banner of Sawara during its years as an independent Hokkaido town, from 1917 until 2005, when the municipality was merged into a larger administrative area. A civic emblem of this kind expresses the identity of the community that uses it, and the interlocking curves read as two parts forming one whole. The flag records a specific chapter of local government, preserved as the emblem of a town that no longer exists under that name.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is lifted, stirred and poured, so the emblem is seen from several angles during a single use. The narrow base sits comfortably in the hand, and the swirl stays centred as the glass is turned. Because the glass doubles as a serving vessel, the flag stays in view from the first stir to the final pour.

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.
