A bit of history...

These glasses were part of an aggressive marketing era by Beefeater Gin during the 70s and 80s.  The goal was to secure visual dominance in the cocktail lounges and in home bars.  Distilleries custom ordered branded stemware to serve as promotional items.  The classic V shape of the martini glass itself goes back to 1952 Paris Exhibition.  They were designed to keep a user's warm hand away from the chilled gin and to allow the spirit's complex botanicals to "open up" to the air.

These are quite Mad Men (Corporate Chic / Mid Century Modern) home bar set up - It would pair well with sleek wood finishes and minimalist bar carts.  Would also fit into a 90s/Y2K Lounge - during the branded liquor merchandise and massive martini bowls had a major revival!  This style would hit a lot of your different design notes

Please note that all vintage antique or secondhand items will have some level of wear - even if it is small

Your order will always be packaged with great care!
