A Gift Box Set of Cocktail Coupes for the Person Who Knows How to Throw a Party
One magical night in 1966, the world turned its gaze to the Plaza Hotel ballroom in New York City, where Truman Capote hosted the legendary Black and White Ball—an event so dazzling, it became known as the “Party of the Century.”
Imagine a ballroom transformed into the ascot scene from My Fair Lady—a vision of black and white elegance, where the most famous and powerful figures of the time danced behind masks, Champagne in hand, as Peter Duchin’s orchestra filled the air with intoxicating music. The men in black ties and black masks, the women in white dresses and white masks, moving constantly, effortlessly, beautifully—what Capote himself called “a ballet of swans.”
To match the grandeur of the night, a fleet of waiters and sommeliers served drinks in the most elegant coupes, hand-selected by Capote himself. Now, re-issued on the 50th anniversary of the Black and White Ball, these timeless cocktail glasses bring back the spirit of luxury, style, and legendary entertaining.
Presented in a "Cocktail Party in a Box" Set of Two Classic Cocktail Coupes, for keeping or for giving—because some nights deserve to be legendary.
