Nick & Nora Glasses

This is a nicely made 6 oz glass for serving smaller cocktails. It would also work well for desert wines. I confirmed that the glass holds 6 oz of liquid to the very rim. The picture is a cocktail with 4 oz of liquid goodness shaken with ice and then shaken without ice (dry shaken) to create a nice foam head. It is a perfect size. I left it ungarnished for the pictures. I am particular about glassware and I believe that this is a good glass for the price. This glass is light and delicate feeling, but could be washed in the dishwasher if loaded carefully so it does not bounce around. The rim is rounded, but without a lip or noticeable seam. What I mean is that there is no bulge out at the rim, it is the same thickness as the glass, just rounded on the top. While a sheer rim may be preferred, this is a nice rim for the price of the glass and is pleasant to drink from. There are no seams on the glass where the bowl and stem meet or where the stem and foot meet. All four of my glasses look similar (no noticeable glass to glass variation). They are well packaged in foam. This is a small glass and it feels small in your hand, especially if you have larger hands. But the stem is a nice thickness and if you hold the stem when you drink (I am not telling you you have to, but ...) it would feel like a small white wine glass. If you are looking for a house glass that you can serve smaller volume cocktails in then this is a winner!

[Update] I stand by everything I wrote originally. Still very pleased with these glasses, and they are much better than alternatives in terms of avoiding spills. I still haven't broken any, but that's probably dumb luck. It's only a matter of time, and I'm ok with that. I really wanted to address comments pertaining to the size/volume of the glasses. A 6oz glass is much smaller than a standard Martini glass, or Coupe. In my opinion, this is very much a 'pro,' not a 'con'. For a drink that you'd serve 'up', like a Martini, or a Manhattan, you're shooting for maybe 3oz of liquor before stirring, depending on taste. With additional ingredients, after stirring you're sitting at 4 - 5oz of liquid. If you pour a 5oz drink into an 11oz Martini glass, it will look ridiculously empty. To fill the glass correctly, you'd need twice as much drink to get to about 10oz of liquid. And that's an absurd amount of alcohol in a single drink - it's actually 4 "standard drinks", using the 1.5oz of 80 Proof alcohol guideline. A 200lb man, having drank that single martini an hour ago, cannot legally drive with a BAC around .09%. If you pour that original 5oz drink into a 6oz glass, it will fill it to within a half inch of the top. It's a far more reasonable quantity of liquor, and anyone doing "drink math" will have a far easier time keeping track. Now if you're sitting around the house, by all means, have at it - but if you're serving friends, and they're driving home later, this really is something you should be cognizant of. If nothing else, you certainly want them to be safe - and worst case, you might actually be liable if something bad happens. [Original Review] I just received these yesterday, so take the sturdiness rating with a grain of salt... These glasses, by their nature, are slim stemmed and delicate. I'm sure they could be broken quite easily - but if you're in the market for Nick and Nora glassware, you probably already expect that. These arrived in perfect condition, exceptionally packaged in a box with custom cut foam, completely enveloping each glass. After washing them by hand, they were impressive - no material or manufacturing defects that I could find. I can't wait to use them - the profile of standard Nick and Noras, and Martini style glasses, are so easy to spill. The lip profile on these should keep the liquid in the glass where it belongs! I will be purchasing more of them for use, and probably a backup box for when the inevitable happens. Stemware that gets used eventually gets broken. At least with these, the price of replacement is quite manageable compared to many alternatives. If you're not prepared for that, buy plastic.

Add an elegant flair to your hand crafted cocktails with these Chouggo Nick & Nora glasses. Beautifully made and well designed. Perfect size for the typical 4-5 oz cocktail (six ounces right to the brim) The turned in at the top (tulip?) shape is a super bonus, as it resists spills as a V shaped glass would.

Nice glasses. Almost too nice. A little thin. Seem pretty fragile.

So you're looking for a smaller cocktail glass for Martinis, Manhattans, Black Manhattans, etc. This is a good choice. Not super delicate, but also not chunky. Attached photo shows the Reidel Nick & Nora (4.5 oz), the Amehla Nick and Nora (5 oz and the only one in true classic N&N shape), this product the Chuoggo Nick and Nora (6 oz), and the Reidel Martini (+ 8 oz). This size works best for me, don't have to fill it up, but room for a garnish. The Reidel N&N is a little too small. The Reidel Martini, well, its a boat - 6 oz of gin or vodka to make it look full. Maybe some people can drink two, but no one's drinking 3! Sophisticated shape for a sophisticated cocktail - and people can have three drinks without passing out.

I've been using these glasses for over a month now. These are a very pretty set of Nick & Noras. I love the shape of the cup. The stem itself seems sturdy as do the points at which it is attached to the cup and the base. The packaging was excellent too btw. I measured them and they are exactly 6oz to the brim. Great price, excellent construction, no complaints.

These glasses are some of my new favorites for cocktails! They are well made, small, and fit in my cabinet with no issues. They are also dishwasher safe so thats great. I would definitely point someone towards these glasses if they were in the market.

These glasses look really nice and delicate, but the downside is they’re very very fragile. The bases seem proportionately too small making them very very unstable and prone to tipping over. Lost the first one day after they arrived, full and sitting on a table cloth; apparently a wrinkle in the cloth was too much and it went over and smashed. A second of the four tipped over a month or so later, again breaking. Not going to replace them with the same and will switch to a more practically designed Nick and Nora
