"Art Deco Noir" Nick & Nora Cocktail Coupette, 2-Piece Set (Gift Box Collection)

• WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM:  These glasses channel the elegance of 1930s cocktail culture, a time when drinks were refined, stylish, and often paired with witty banter and mystery.  The Art Deco stem gives these glasses a timeless, sophisticated look, while the connection to 1930s detective fiction and film-noir adds a touch of intrigue and vintage cool.
• Premium Gift Box:  Offering a Set of 2 vintage-style Cocktail Glasses, with geometric, angular-shaped stem supporting a sophisticated bowl, inspired by the Art Deco era, and named after the husband-and-wife detective team of the "Thin Man" movies, characters created by Dashiell Hammett.
• A Post-Prohibition Classic:  These glasses emanate luxury and glamour, each holding a modest 6 1/4-ounces, each with sloped slides, perfect for a drink that inspires small and elegant sips.  Smaller circumference and higher, rounded sides make it steadier and significantly less likely to spill, making these are many bartenders’ preferred cocktails glasses; the shape has enough in common with a wine glass to make them a good option for serving liqueurs, fortified wines, and other tipples best enjoyed in small quantities.
• Designed for Iconic Cocktails:  Art Deco stem influenced by 1930s private-eye/detective fiction, and film-noir.  Crafted with deep, curved bowl and thin, delicate lip, practical and versatile to ensure civilized sipping of the Martini, Manhattan, Sidecar, Bronx, Gimlet, and other straight-up cocktails.  This style of glassware has a deep, curved bowl, less top-heavy than V-shaped Martini glasses and standard bar coupes, therefore easier to hold by the stem, and more importantly, the thin, delicate lip helps a velvety Martini slide onto the  tongue. 
• A Gift of Sophistication:  Safe, strong, durable and designed for beauty and strength; engineered to withstand rigors of professional bar service; perfect gift-giving idea for hospitality and celebrations.  Perfect for weddings, engagements, housewarmings, anniversaries, birthdays, and holiday celebrations.  Their vintage-inspired design feels both nostalgic and modern, perfect for home bars, intimate cocktail parties, or as a collector’s piece.
• Dimensions for Superior Functionality: Top: 2 3/4-inches; Bottom: 2 1/2-inches; Height: 6-inches; Volume Capacity: 6 1/4-ounces.   Dishwasher safe; ideal because it’s very durable and less prone to breaking from thermal shock (sudden or extreme changes in temperature); notable for impact resistance; built to withstand the daily rigors of high-volume consumer traffic environments

The Cinematic Nick and Nora Cocktail Glass.  "Art Deco Noir" Limited Edition.

Nick and Nora Charles originated from the pen of writer Dashiell Hammett, whose novel "The Thin Man" invented a new kind of crime fiction.  It was hard-boiled, but also light-hearted; funny, with just a hint of film noir.  In a series of movies throughout the 1930s, audiences watched Nick and Nora as they sipped cocktails in between solving crimes.  

Perhaps the best-known drink glass of its time, the Nick & Nora glass holds just over 6 ounces, smartly on the small side. (The second half of a too-large Martini will have become too warm by the time the average drinker gets to it).  This style of glassware has a deep, curved bowl, less top-heavy than V-shaped Martini glasses and standard bar coupes, therefore easier to hold by the stem, and more importantly, the thin, delicate lip helps a velvety Martini slide onto the  tongue.  Supported with a period art deco stem for durability and beauty, the "Art Deco Noir" Nick & Nora Martini Cocktail Glass should be served at a dinner party in honor of Dashiell Hammett or any occasion where glamour is requested.  Gift Box Set of 2, for keeping or giving.
