The first summer after the end of Prohibition ushered in a new era of glamour and indulgence. From July through August, Newport, the storied "City by the Sea," became the epicenter of high society, where America's wealthiest families gathered for lavish house parties, yachting events, and exclusive social affairs. Tennis tournaments, polo matches, and equestrian showcases marked the season's grand finale, while opulent soirées set the stage for an era defined by extravagance.
Elizabeth Lehr, the wife of socialite Harry Lehr, famously declared Newport “the playground of the great ones of the earth from which all intruders were ruthlessly excluded.” The families of railroad, mining, and steel fortunes—the Vanderbilts, Firestones, and Astors—entertained in their gilded "summer cottages," where butlers in tuxedos served cocktails and Champagne in perfectly proportioned coupe glasses.
From the drawing rooms of Newport to the cocktail bars of today, the Newport “Social Season” Cocktail Coupe Glass remains a vintage classic. With its timeless silhouette, this elegant glass is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional—ideal for Champagne, martinis, daiquiris, or classic craft cocktails. Designed for connoisseurs and hosts who appreciate both history and style, it embodies the effortless luxury of a bygone era.
Offered is a Gift Box Set of 2 Newport “Social Season” Cocktail Coupe Glasses, perfect for keeping or gifting. Whether toasting to a milestone or indulging in an evening of refined cocktails, these glasses bring the sophistication of Newport's golden age to every sip.
