Martini Glasses

What is a martini Glass

Taken from http://www.sipsmith.com/blog/articles/the-history-of-the-martini-glass
The cocktail glass was originally developed not because of aesthetics but because of practicality. Likely dating to the late 19th century, the vessel suits cocktails that are "served up". The lengthy stem and separated bowl mean that the cocktail isn’t warmed up too much by the drinker’s hands, as there’s no added ice to ensure it stays chilled.

It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the Martini glass came to be distinct from the cocktail glass. The slightly rounded sides of the former transformed into a purely conical shape, with the walls of the glass descending into a single point at the bowl’s base. The Martini glass’s stem also lengthened, and its rim grew wider.

Where to buy

I bought mine from a large highstreet chain and paid £10 for 4 however it appears Amazon has a great range, see below.
