The Iconic Cocktail Glass from Ernie’s of San Francisco.

Opened in 1931 as a modest Italian trattoria, by the late 1940s, Ernie Carlessos had turned his place into an opulent French restaurant serving regulars like Frank Sinatra, Alfred Hitchcock, Barbra Streisand, Walter Cronkite, Marilyn Monroe, and Cary Grant. Among San Francisco locals, Ernie’s was a rite of passage, where young men-about-town took their dates, especially when a seduction depended upon it.

Plush red wallpaper, crystal chandeliers, and white linen set a sophisticated scene. Cocktails, delivered by waiters in black tuxedos, arrived in sensual, elegantly-curved glasses, crafted in the finest crystal, oh so easy-to-cradle. Ernie’s is gone, but the iconic glasses continue to furnish the home bar and tabletop, providing instant glamour and sparkling presentation to cocktails and generous pours of liquor served on the rocks.
