I was in Pier One recently and I found these wonderful martini glasses.
Unfortunately, these pictures do not present them in the best possible light. The bases are large orbs - I would say about the size of a golf ball. And they are embedded with a faceted jewel of some description. You cannot see the sparkle in these photos but believe me, they sparkle baby.
The bowls are regular martini size as you would expect on a stemmed martini glass. So don't think that you are getting a "mini" martini glass. You are getting the standard size martini bowl, just without the stem.
In this picture you get a little better look at one of them. You can see a little sparkle in the base. This glass was filled with ice cold Ketel One Citroen vodka, a tiny splash of tonic and a lemon twist. I cannot take vermouth in my martini. There is something in vermouth that upsets my stomach. So I use a touch of tonic and a few ice cubes. So I guess it's really more of a vodka tonic in a martini glass, but, whatever works. It was delicious. I only bought two of these because I wasn't sure if I would be happy with them. I will be going back for more this weekend.
