Somewhere Between a Martini Glass and a Coupe—The 1930s Nick & Nora Glass is Back

Few films capture cocktail elegance quite like The Thin Man series. Beyond its witty dialogue and sophisticated mystery, the six-film saga starring William Powell and Myrna Loy is a tribute to Martinis, romance, and effortless style. Powell plays Nick Charles, an urbane detective with a dry wit, while Loy’s Nora Charles is his equally stylish, equally tipsy wife.

These are movies where the characters start drinking when they get out of bed and don’t stop until the case is solved—several days (and countless cocktails) later. Yet, despite the sheer volume of drinks, no one gets falling-down drunk. The secret? Smaller cocktails. Unlike today’s oversized Martinis, the glasses used by Nick and Nora were about a third the size of the modern versions. As Nick quips in one scene, after handing Nora a drink:

"This will make six Martinis," he says.
She orders five more.

The authentic 1930s-era Nick & Nora Martini Glass—perhaps the most famous cocktail glass of its time—holds just over 6 ounces, keeping drinks smartly portioned and perfectly chilled. (After all, the second half of an oversized Martini is often too warm by the time you get to it.)

Built to withstand the rigors of the hospitality industry and enthusiastically embraced by progressive cocktail culture, this timeless glassware essential is offered in a Gift Box Set of Two—for keeping or giving. Because some classics never go out of style. </p>
