Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous
The first summer after Prohibition ushered in a new era of glamour and indulgence. From July through August, Newport—the storied “City by the Sea”—became the epicenter of high society. America’s wealthiest families gathered for lavish house parties, yachting events, and exclusive social affairs. Tennis tournaments, polo matches, and equestrian showcases marked the season’s grand finale, while opulent soirées set the tone for an era defined by unabashed extravagance.
Elizabeth Lehr, wife of socialite Harry Lehr, famously described Newport as “the playground of the great ones of the earth from which all intruders were ruthlessly excluded.” The families of railroad, mining, and steel fortunes—the Vanderbilts, Firestones, and Astors—entertained in their gilded “summer cottages,” where tuxedoed butlers served cocktails and Champagne in perfectly proportioned coupe glasses.
From the drawing rooms of Newport to today’s cocktail bars, the Newport “Social Season” Cocktail Coupe remains a vintage classic. Its timeless silhouette is both elegant and highly functional—ideal for Champagne, martinis, daiquiris, or classic craft cocktails. For connoisseurs and hosts who appreciate history and style, it embodies the effortless luxury of a bygone era.
Offered in a Gift Box Set of 2, the Newport “Social Season” Cocktail Coupe Glasses are perfect for keeping or gifting. Whether toasting to a milestone or enjoying an evening of refined cocktails, these glasses bring the sophistication of Newport’s golden age to every sip.
