Imperial Chinese Navy Squadron Commanders Flag 1905-1909 (China) Pint Glass 16oz

Horizontal stripes in blue, white, yellow, red and green run behind a square yellow canton, where a dragon chases a pearl.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is built from horizontal bands, each a flat block of one colour, so the stripes give the design a strong, regular rhythm. A square yellow canton sits on the hoist side and holds the blue dragon in pursuit of a red pearl. Yellow takes the largest share of colour, and the blue, red and green bands sit evenly beside it. Everything is rendered in flat vector shapes, with no shading to soften the edges.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Squadron Commanders Flag was flown between 1905 and 1909 to mark the presence of a commander over several ships. It dates from the naval modernisation that followed the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to 1895, when the Qing government set out to rebuild a fleet that had been badly beaten. Yellow was the imperial colour, and the dragon stood for the authority of the Qing emperor. The flag's design brought that imperial symbolism into the naval hierarchy of the period.

On the Mixing Glass

A mixing glass is turned in the hand while it is used, so the striped bands wrap around its curve and the dragon comes into view as it moves. The clear glass lets the colours show through, and the square canton reads clearly against the glass.

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.
