Flag of the Nanbu Lords of Morioka in Mutsu Province A (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

Two mirrored birds with fanned wings face one another inside a black diamond, a monochrome crest of strict vertical symmetry.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white split the surface almost evenly, with the black diamond forming the ground behind the birds. The two birds face each other across a central axis, their fanned wings mirroring one another exactly. A white circular ring encloses a radial lattice at the centre, adding a second geometric motif that pulls the eye inward. The design uses flat vector shapes in monochrome and carries no text or numerals, so the symmetry and the contrast of the two colours carry the whole composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is the primary banner of the Nanbu clan, the samurai lords of Morioka in Mutsu Province, present-day Iwate Prefecture in the Tōhoku region. The clan traced its descent to the Seiwa Genji line of the Minamoto and held the domain continuously from the Kamakura period through the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Nanbu Nobunao moved the clan seat to Morioka, and construction of Morioka Castle began in 1592. The clan's mon is the crane, a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture, and the banner stood in the field to identify the Nanbu and assert their territorial authority.

Symmetry for a Curved Glass

A pint glass wraps a crest of this kind around a tall, curved surface, so the mirrored birds turn with the drinker's hand as the glass is lifted and set down. The black diamond gives the glass a deep, solid field when it is seen against the table, and the white ring catches the light as the glass is poured. The narrower lower section keeps the glass comfortable to hold, and the symmetry holds steady from every side.

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.
