There’s something about drinking your sparkling wine or cocktail of choice from a fine coupe glass. Though its origins are unclear––many say that the coupe first came to be as a commission inspired by Marie Antoinette’s breast, though the ancient Greeks drank from a similarly-shaped vessel long before her time––this glassware style instantly dresses up any quaffing occasion. Here are three choice sets for your next toast, celebratory or otherwise.
The hallmark of a great coupe glass is a fine rim, and historic German glassware brand Spiegelau has it down to a science. This beautiful set of four 8.8 ounce glasses features lead-free crystal cut to perfection, a work of art from the brilliant producer responsible for stocking some of the world's greatest restaurants' glassware cabinets.
If you've ever wanted to be transported to a Prohibition-era speakeasy, this set of four Libbey coupe glasses is for you. Made from lead-free glass, the vintage silhouette features a diamond-cut stem––a seemingly small detail that goes a long way, both visually and to the touch. These classic glasses hold 8.6 ounces, a rather standard size for this glassware style.
Serious elegance is afoot with these tall, fine saucer-style coupe glasses by LSA International, a family-run Polish brand that's been in the game for over 50 years. Handmade, lead-free, and mouth-blown, these delicate coupe glasses are striking in every way and are perfect for special occasions.
