Proposed PRC National Flag Nº11 (China) Pint Glass 16oz

This is a bold, flag-like composition built from a field of saturated red, a single yellow disc, and a five-pointed star, a design put forward during the search for a national symbol for the People's Republic of China.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red fills roughly four-fifths of the design, so the eye settles on it first and stays there. Against that ground sits a yellow circle and a yellow five-pointed star, the only two colours in play. The shapes are flat and deliberately simple: a rectangle for the field, a disc, and a star, arranged with the rigid clarity of an emblem meant to be read at a glance from across a parade ground.

Meaning & Symbolism

This proposal was entered in the nationwide competition held in July and August 1949 to choose a new flag for the new republic. Red and gold had already become the language of the revolution, and the star and circle carry the idea of a unified nation gathered under a single emblem. Thousands of entries were submitted, and this one, Nº11, is preserved among them at the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution in Beijing. It was not the design selected: the "Five-star Red Flag" by Zeng Liansong was adopted on September 27, 1949. What remains is a record of how a nation tried to picture itself.

Designed for the Hand That Lifts It

A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that wraps around the eye's path as the drink is raised, so the red field and yellow star are seen in one continuous sweep rather than as a single square. Set on the table, the design reads as a standing emblem; lifted, it turns with the hand, the star catching the light as it moves. It is a small, portable piece of national history for anyone who likes their politics served cold.

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.
