Flag of the Ii Lords of Hikone in Omi Province B (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This banner fills a deep crimson field with a bold white grid of extended bars, a stripped-back version of the well-frame motif used by the Ii lords of Hikone.

Visual Elements & Composition

Crimson dominates the design, with white reserved for a single geometric emblem. Two pairs of white bars cross at right angles, extending past the edges of the field, which gives the composition a strong, square rhythm. The layout is flat, with no shading and no secondary detail, so the shape and the colour carry the whole design.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Ii clan held Hikone Domain on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa in Omi Province from 1600 until 1871, and their household ranked among the most senior fudai houses of the Tokugawa shogunate. The red field recalls the scarlet armour of the clan's fighting men, and the well-frame character, rendered here in its geometric form, was used on military banners. Members of the family served as tairo, the highest executive post in the Edo government, and this banner is the second of three documented configurations the household used.

Made for the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is tall and narrow, and the drink is seen through its sides as it is stirred. A flat, high-contrast banner shows well through clear glass, with the crimson field reading strongly against whatever liquid it holds.

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.
