Postal Flag of Japanese Taiwan 1916-1945 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the postal flag that flew over Japanese Taiwan from 1916 to 1945, reduced to a single, confident emblem: a red postal mark on a plain white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the artwork, covering roughly 45 per cent of the field, while vivid red fills most of the rest. The composition is flat and graphic, with no shading or ornament to distract from the mark itself. At its centre sits a stylised red yūbin symbol (〒), built from bold horizontal bands and a torii-gate silhouette. The bands read as clean strokes with white gaps between them, so the form stays crisp at any scale. The result is high contrast and immediately legible.

Meaning & Symbolism

The yūbin mark is the classic Japanese postal icon, and it carried the function of the postal service across the island during the colonial era. Its presence on the flag marked the administrative reach of that system in early twentieth-century Taiwan. The red-and-white palette and the geometric simplicity give the piece an archival character, a precise record of how a government identified its services through visual design.

Sip, Stir and Show Off the Stamp of History

A pint glass gives this emblem a tall, curved surface to wrap around, so the red mark stays in view as the glass is lifted and turned. Each time it is picked up, the symbol passes the eye at close range, rewarding a second look. Pour a drink into this glass and the flag becomes a small, sociable conversation piece for anyone who recognises the postal mark.

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.
