War flag of the Imperial Japanese Army 1868-1945 - Type 2 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

A sixteen-ray Rising Sun bursts from a central red disc across a plain white field, a bold piece of Imperial Japanese military insignia reproduced in crisp, flat colour.

Visual Elements & Composition

The design is built on a single radial idea. A crimson sun disc sits at the centre, and sixteen red rays fan outward in perfect symmetry until they reach the edges of the white field. Crimson takes up roughly half the surface and white the rest, so the two colours hold each other in strong, uncomplicated balance. Nothing decorative interrupts the layout, and the flat vector finish keeps every edge sharp. The effect is minimalist and high-contrast, with the sunburst doing all the work.

Meaning & Symbolism

The red disc and its rays stand for the Rising Sun, the emblem most closely tied to the Empire of Japan and to its sun goddess, Amaterasu. The Type 2 variant is defined by its colour: the red matches the shade used in the Imperial Japanese Navy ensign and the national flag of the era. The Army formally adopted the pattern on May 15, 1870, and carried it until 1945, which places the design firmly in the Meiji through wartime period and gives it its historical weight.

Made for the Pint Glass Moment

A sunburst reads best when it wraps around something, and this pint glass gives the rays a tall, curved surface to travel across. The sun sits where your hand naturally rests, and the rays spread around the glass as you lift it. Pour a cold one, hold it up to the light, and let that red-and-white contrast do the talking. It is a warm, slightly cheeky way to bring a loud piece of history to the table, and a conversation starter for anyone who appreciates bold graphic design.

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.
