Proposal 4 for the PRC flag (China) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces Proposal 4, the 1949 flag submission by Zeng Liansong, on a solid red field with five golden stars and a hammer and sickle.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red dominates the artwork, covering most of the field in a bold, flat graphic style. Five golden stars sit on the red, with one large star leading a group of smaller ones, so the eye lands on the star first and then follows the rest. The hammer and sickle, which this proposal included, is the element that sets it apart from the flag that was finally adopted. The layout is simple and heraldic, built for strong contrast at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

Zeng Liansong submitted this proposal during the 1949 national flag design contest for the People's Republic of China. Its five stars match the final flag, and the large star stands for the Communist Party, with the four smaller stars representing the four classes of the people. The hammer and sickle was removed during selection, and the design was set aside in favour of the modified version, which became the officially adopted "Five-star Red Flag." The artwork therefore records one of the designs weighed in the choice of a national emblem, showing how the flag reached its final form.

Shaped for the Hand

A mixing glass is tall and tapers toward the base, so the artwork wraps around a curved surface that rotates in the hand as you pour or stir. The stars travel across the curve as you turn it, and the red field fills the view from almost every angle. Its narrow grip makes it a practical piece for a gift, and its design gives the recipient a story to tell over the first round.

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.
