Proposed flag of Minnesota 1957 (United States) Pint Glass 16oz

A vertical tricolour of red, white and blue, with nineteen gold stars gathered into one larger star on the white band.

Visual Elements & Composition

Three equal vertical stripes run the full height of the design: blue at the hoist, white through the centre, red at the fly. Each colour holds roughly a third of the field, so no single hue dominates. The white central stripe carries the design. Nineteen five-pointed gold stars are arranged so that together they form a single five-pointed star. The result is flat, graphic and immediately readable, with no lettering or numerals beyond the stars.

Meaning & Symbolism

The arrangement is a count. Minnesota was the 19th state admitted to the Union after the original thirteen, and the nineteen stars record that. The large star they form stands for the North Star. The design was proposed by State Representative John Tracy Anderson, with input from Major General Joseph E. Nelson, Adjutant General of the Minnesota National Guard, which is why it is often called the Anderson-Nelson proposal. In 1957 the Minnesota House of Representatives rejected it by 48 to 23, choosing instead a revised version of the blue flag featuring the state seal. The proposal remains a record of lawmakers openly debating how Minnesota should be represented.

Built for the Hand

A mixing glass is tall and narrow, and it gets lifted, turned and tipped as a drink is made. The tricolour runs the full height of the glass, so the blue, white and red bands stay in view from every angle, and the white band with its star sits at eye level as you pour. The base is narrower than the rim, so the glass sits easily in the hand. It makes a good conversation starter for anyone who has ever wondered why their state flag looks the way it does.

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.
