Flag of Shirataki Hokkaido 1949-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design recreates the historical flag of Shirataki, a former village in Hokkaido, Japan, with a white roundel set on a dark green field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark green covers about three quarters of the flag, forming a calm, deep base for the emblem. White makes up the roundel at the centre, a circle with a green band cutting across its top and a smaller white circle set inside the green ring. The forms are flat vector with crisp edges and no shading. The layout is spare and symmetrical, and the roundel is the one element that draws the eye.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag belonged to Shirataki from 1949 until 2005, and it marks the village's civic identity across those decades of local government in Hokkaido. The concentric circles and the horizontal band give the emblem a compact, self-contained structure, the sort of simple geometry that Japanese municipalities favoured for their insignia in the postwar period. It records a particular era in the life of a small Hokkaido community.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is tall and tapering, and it is turned as it is lifted, so the roundel moves around the vessel as the glass rotates in the hand. The concentric rings stay readable from each side, and the white emblem stands out clearly against the dark green as the drink is poured.

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.
