Summary
About the place: Ivančice is a South Moravian town in Brno-Country District, situated in the Boskovice Furrow at the confluence of the Jihlava, Oslava, and Rokytná rivers. The town boasts a rich history of viticulture and asparagus farming, and is renowned as the birthplace of Art Nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha and actor Vladimír Menšík.
Flag Description: On a blue field with an aspect ratio of 2:3, three yellow cups with their bases facing each other. The axes of the two upper cups point towards the upper hoist and upper fly corners, while the lower cup points vertically towards the bottom edge of the flag.
Symbolism: The flag is an armorial banner derived directly from the historic town coat of arms, recorded on town seals dating back to the 14th century. The three cups (originally stylized wine vats or flagons) and the blue field symbolize the town's centuries-old viticultural heritage and prosperity stemming from wine-making at the confluence of three rivers.
