- A Faithful American Original: This Gift Box Set of two limited-edition cocktail glasses is a true reproduction of the original Martini glass used at New York’s legendary pre-Prohibition Knickerbocker Bar. Crafted from historic Morgantown Glassworks molds, each glass faithfully preserves the proportions, balance, and character of the earliest Martini service. Includes a four-page illustrated history of the glass—its life and times.
- Inspired by Mr. Astor’s Top Hat: The sculptural stem takes the form of a gentleman wearing a top hat—an homage to John Jacob Astor’s New York and the refined world of Edwardian high society. True to period scale, these glasses are intentionally modest in size—roughly one-third the capacity of today’s oversized cocktail ware—allowing drinks to stay colder, sharper, and more focused in flavor.
- Designed for Balance & Performance: With a lower center of gravity and a flat-bottomed bowl, this glass offers superior stability compared to modern shallow-V designs. The wide rim guides the cocktail to the center of the tongue, enhancing freshness and balance, while the solid figurative stem provides a comfortable, confident grip and keeps warmth away from the drink.
- Versatile for Classic Cocktails: Originally created for the Martini, this glass is equally suited for Whiskey Sours, Daiquiris, Aviations, Grasshoppers, Gimlets, and other straight-up classics. Ideal for vintage cocktail parties, theatrical presentation, or collectors of historically authentic barware.
- A Conversation Piece with Provenance: Legend holds that the Martini cocktail itself was invented at the Knickerbocker Bar by bartender Martini di Arma di Taggia—and that these whimsical glasses were designed in the likeness of Mr. Astor’s top hat. Equal parts sculpture and serviceware, they bring storytelling, artistry, and history to the bar.
- Dimensions for Authentic Service: Height: 5 ½ inches Rim Diameter: 3 ¼ inches Capacity: 4 ¼ ounces Perfectly scaled for pre-Prohibition cocktail traditions and refined, spill-resistant service.
- Meet the Brand: Since 1997, HISTORY COMPANY has specialized in extraordinary products inspired by history and authenticity—where Every Gift Holds a Story, and where you are sure to find the perfect item for keeping or giving.
