Description
Half past seven at the hotel bar on the Place Vendôme. A pianist plays Cole Porter in the corner, the lights are low, and the bartender in a white jacket sets down a chilled glass with two plump olives on a pick. Across the counter, a couple who met here exactly twenty years ago raise their drinks to each other. They have ordered the same thing every anniversary since, and the bartender, who has been here almost as long, never needs to ask.
This martini glass with olives captures that timeless glamour. It is a witty present for a cocktail enthusiast, a mixologist, a host who throws legendary parties or a couple celebrating an anniversary with a toast. It looks wonderful on a bar cart among crystal decanters, on a bookshelf next to a cocktail recipe book, or on a home bar where guests gather before dinner. Pair it with a bottle of good gin or vermouth for an especially stylish gift.
What makes it special
- A martini glass complete with olives
- Around 3″ tall, standing on a 2.25″ round
- Crafted by Rochard
- Limoges porcelain whose details were painted by hand
It is also a fun way to celebrate a twenty-first birthday or a retirement that calls for a proper toast. James Bond fans will know exactly what to do with it, and so will anyone who prefers theirs with three olives.
