A set of four 6 oz Nick and Nora glasses in hand-blown lead-free crystal. The shape matters: a Nick and Nora is a small, deep, gently curved bowl on a short stem, which holds a spirit-forward drink at the right volume without the wide surface area of a coupe that lets it warm and spill. At 6 oz it is sized for a properly measured martini, manhattan, negroni, bijou, or vermouth pour rather than the oversized modern V-glass. Hand-blown means thin walls and a lighter feel in the hand than pressed glass. Best fit: a home bar that has outgrown rocks glasses, gifting to someone who makes cocktails, and anyone whose martini currently arrives at a slosh risk.
Pros
- 6 oz bowl is sized for a properly measured drink, not an oversized pour
- Deep curve and short stem means far less slosh than a coupe
- Hand-blown lead-free crystal, so the walls are thin rather than chunky
- Set of four covers a dinner party without mixing glassware
Cons
- Hand-blown thin walls are more fragile than pressed glass, and they are better hand-washed than run through a dishwasher
Frequently asked questions
Are these dishwasher safe?
They are lead-free crystal with thin hand-blown walls. Hand washing is recommended to avoid chips and clouding over time.
What is the difference between a Nick and Nora and a coupe?
A Nick and Nora has a deeper, narrower bowl on a shorter stem. It spills less and keeps a drink colder than a wide, shallow coupe.
What size drink do they hold?
Each glass is 6 oz, which suits a standard measured martini, manhattan, or negroni with room at the rim.
Can I use them for wine?
You can pour a small glass of fortified wine or vermouth, but they are undersized for a regular table wine serving.
