Flag of the Kingdom of Tahuata 1837-1842 (France) Pint Glass 16oz

This design is the checkerboard banner of the Kingdom of Tahuata, a grid of red and white squares flown in the Marquesas during the kingdom's short independent years.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red and white share the field equally, arranged in a square 4 by 4 grid of alternating squares. No lettering or figures interrupt the pattern, so the rhythm of the squares is the whole design. The flat, geometric layout is bold and immediate, and the sharp contrast between the two colours holds its shape at any size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was the standard of Chief Iotete, who unified the island of Tahuata and kept it independent in the Marquesas during the period from 1837 to 1842. When a French naval expedition arrived in May 1842, Iotete resisted, and on 1 May 1842 he signed a declaration recognising French sovereignty over the southeastern Marquesan group. The checkerboard therefore marks a brief moment of island sovereignty before the French took control.

On the Mixing Glass

This glass is both a shaker and a serving glass, so the flag does double duty as the drink is mixed and then poured. Its narrow base gives a comfortable grip, and the checkerboard reads clearly on the clear glass as the drink is made and served.

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.
