Crystal Coupe

Simple, strong and elegant, the Sequence Nick & Nora Coupe from Chef&Sommelier is a 5¼-oz. cocktail glass made from the brand’s lead-free crystal glass, called Krysta. Krysta, the maker says, is 30% stronger than standard crystal products and can withstand 2,000-plus dishwashing cycles without a reduction of quality. Each glass stands 5 5/8-in.H and 2 3/4-in.W. The glasses are sold in cases of two dozen.
