Vintage Knobbed Stem Champagne Coupes, order SHALLOW Bowl, Champagne Toasting Glasses, Gatsby Style, Weddings, Large Parties

Celebrate in old Hollywood Style... These Champagne Coupe glasses are a classic and elegant style with shallow bowls, not modern flutes. Very chic! These are wonderful for serving elegant desserts such as ice cream or fruit.

The champagne glasses measure approximately 4” tall and 3 ½” across the top. The shallow bowl and short stem sit cradled in hand and feels somehow... romantic.
***Please note that these are the VERY SHALLOW type and will only hold 3 ounces.

Listing is for a SET of 6.

About Coupe Style Champagne Glasses - This type of Champagne glass is also referred to as a goblet or saucer. They have a wide, shallow bowl and a relatively short stem.

Primarily used for aromatic sweet champagnes, a wide, shallow bowl is best. The cup shape is particularly suited to rich and aromatic wines, such as Asti Spumante, because of their sweetness. A large, wide opening has the benefit of mitigating the aromatic strength of the grape while allowing other aromas to develop. Because these wines have less perlage, showcasing the bubbles with a tall, narrow glass is not as big of an issue.

The last photo shows a order late 1940's wedding couple enjoying a fruit cup (but notice these wonderful champagne coupes also on the table). From the book: "Your Vintage Wedding" by Nancy Eaton. Also widely used in the 1950s and '60s.
