Japanese Army Second Battalion Flag (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

A flat vector rendering of the Imperial Japanese Army's second battalion marker, a white flag crossed by two parallel zigzag bands, one red and one black.

Visual Elements & Composition

White makes up three quarters of the surface and sets the stage for the two chevron bands. The red band sits above and the black band below, each a repeating zigzag that runs across the flag in parallel. The bands are the only marks on the design, so their sharp angles and tight spacing give the composition its rhythm. There are no emblems, text or numerals, just graphic geometry in three colours.

Meaning & Symbolism

This flag served as a field marker, identifying the position of the second battalion on the battlefield. It was typically fixed to a staff secured to a rifle, so it could be raised and seen across open ground. The marker was established on 2 December 1874 under Proclamation No. 130 of the Daijō-kan, and Japanese forces used it from the late nineteenth century until 1945. Its chevron bands were a practical way of telling one battalion from another.

How the Marker Meets the Glass

A pint glass has a tall, curved body, so the parallel chevrons wrap around the vessel and bend with its shape. As the glass is turned, the red and black bands seem to shift against the white field. Seen across a table, the design reads as a crisp, graphic pattern that is easy to pick out at a glance.

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.
