Flag of the Empire of China 1915-1916 (China) Pint Glass 16oz

Triangular sectors of gold yellow, blue, white and black meet at the centre of a bright red saltire, making this flat vector design an instantly recognisable piece of 1910s Chinese state heraldry.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red is the dominant colour, running across the rectangle in a diagonal cross that divides the field. Each of the four triangular spaces it creates is filled in a single colour: gold yellow at the top, blue, white and black. The contrast between the saturated red and the sectors gives the composition its punch, while the even proportions keep the layout calm. No text or numerals appear, so every line and shape is geometric and deliberate.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag belongs to the Empire of China, a monarchy proclaimed by Yuan Shikai that lasted only from late 1915 into the spring of 1916. Its four sector colours follow the traditional idea of five peoples united under one state, a theme that ran through Chinese national symbolism of the period. The short reign ended in collapse, and the republic returned. The flag therefore records a brief experiment in restoring imperial rule and the political turbulence that followed the 1911 revolution.

Where It Meets the Glass

A strong geometric pattern like this one wraps neatly around a rounded surface, and the saltire keeps its shape from every angle as the glass is turned. The red cross catches the eye across a room, so the design is always the first thing noticed when the glass is picked up.

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.
