Flag of the Makino Lords of Nagaoka in Echigo Province B (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design is the second recorded banner of the Makino clan, drawn as a stark black-and-white ladder glyph of stacked rungs between two rails.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black covers most of the design, with white forming the rungs and the spaces between them. The motif is a rectangular ladder with two vertical rails and a run of horizontal bars, so the pattern reads as a set of stripes that rise up the surface. The layout is minimal and graphic, with no lettering and no decoration beyond the rungs. The high contrast keeps the shape sharp at every size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Makino were fudai daimyo, hereditary inner vassals of the Tokugawa shogunate, who held Nagaoka Domain in Echigo Province, now Niigata Prefecture, from 1618 to the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The clan had its roots in Mikawa Province and rose through loyalty to Tokugawa Ieyasu, with its standing raised in 1588 under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Their banners are recorded in the 1906 Japanisches Wappenbuch: Nihon Moncho, and this variant is one of three documented flag designs for the family, a sign of the distinct heraldic identity that Edo-period lords carried into the field.

On the Mixing Glass, 16oz

A pint-sized glass has a tall, curved wall, so the rungs wrap around the body and run upward as the glass is lifted. The stacked bars feel right on a vessel that is held and tilted, and the strong black and white pattern is easy to follow from the rim to the base.

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.
