Flag of the Imperial Japanese Navy Admiral 1871-1889 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

A white field carries a single red disc, framed by a red border that marks the highest rank in the Meiji-era navy.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, with a crimson Hinomaru disc set at the centre. The red border runs around the edge of the rectangle and separates the field from the surrounding space. There is no lettering or numerals, so the composition depends entirely on the balance of one disc, one frame and a great deal of open white. The flat vector treatment keeps every edge hard and clean.

Meaning & Symbolism

The red disc is the Hinomaru, the sun motif of the Japanese state flag. Here the flag is adapted as a rank marker: the red border sets the admiral's flag apart from the other grades in the system. It was the signal of the Admiral (Taishō) rank in the Imperial Japanese Navy, a flag in use from 29 November 1871 to 7 October 1889, during the early Meiji modernisation of the navy. The system was replaced in 1889, when the Rising Sun was adopted as the naval ensign.

Shaped for the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is narrow at the base and held close, so the design wraps around a tall, curved surface and is read at close range as the glass turns in the hand. The strong white field keeps the red disc legible from every side, while the border frames the centre of the glass the way it frames the flag itself. It suits a piece of naval history that was built to be recognised at a glance.

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.
