Flag of the Maeda Lords of Kanazawa in Kaga Province A (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This flag is a flat, confident emblem of cobalt blue and white, built around a single stylised flower that seems to bloom out of the field itself.

Visual Elements & Composition

Cobalt blue fills roughly three-quarters of the field, leaving white to carry the design. At its centre sits a ring from which five white petals radiate in even, five-fold symmetry, so the image reads as a badge rather than a picture. The shapes are simple and the rectangular field is kept clear of ornament, which gives the flag the bold, graphic presence that a battle banner needs when it has to be recognised from a distance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flower is the plum blossom, the heraldic mon of the Maeda clan. The Maeda were among the most powerful daimyo of Edo-period Japan, ruling Kaga Domain from Kanazawa Castle from 1583 until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Their lands yielded a million koku, second only to the Tokugawa shogunate in landed wealth. This banner belongs to the sashimono and hata tradition, the flags carried in battle and in ceremonial procession to show which forces were Maeda's. Clan founder Maeda Toshiie (1538–1599) set the family on its course, and this variant is one of three flags of the clan documented today.

Made for This Glass

A pint glass gives the artwork a tall, curved surface to wrap around, so the blue field and white blossom are seen as they turn in the hand. The flag's strong centred emblem stays legible from every angle, and the glass shows it off as you lift it to drink.

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.
