The Cinematic Nick & Nora Cocktail Glass – “Art Deco Noir” Limited Edition
Nick and Nora Charles first emerged from the pen of Dashiell Hammett, whose novel The Thin Man redefined crime fiction. Hard-boiled yet light-hearted, suspenseful yet effortlessly witty, it introduced a detective duo who did as much cocktail sipping as crime solving. Throughout the 1930s film series, audiences watched William Powell and Myrna Loy exchange sharp banter over perfectly mixed Martinis, Manhattans, and Bronx Cocktails, cementing the Nick & Nora glass as a symbol of sophisticated revelry.
Perhaps the best-known drink glass of its era, the Nick & Nora Coupe holds just over 6 ounces, a smartly proportioned size ensuring that a Martini stays crisp and chilled until the last sip. Designed with a deep, curved bowl, it is less top-heavy than the V-shaped Martini glass and more balanced than a standard coupe, making it easier to hold by the stem while preserving the integrity of the drink’s temperature. Most importantly, its thin, delicate lip allows a velvety Martini to glide effortlessly onto the tongue.
Supported by a period-authentic Art Deco stem, this “Art Deco Noir” Limited Edition Nick & Nora Cocktail Glass blends durability with timeless beauty. Whether served at a dinner party in honor of Dashiell Hammett, a black-tie affair, or an evening of old-Hollywood glamour, this glass is made for occasions where elegance is required.
Presented in a Gift Box Set of Two, for keeping or for giving—because great cocktails deserve great glassware.
