About the Item

Martini double cocktail cup four glasses deco' first edit original years '30 very rareand extremely elegant set of four Martini extra size cup in perfect condition Martini is a Italy brand During Prohibition in the United States (1920–1933) the relative ease of illegal gin manufacture led to the martini's rise as the locally predominant cocktail. With the repeal of Prohibition, and the ready availability of quality gin, the drink became progressively drier. In the 1970s and 1980s, the martini came to be seen as old-fashioned and was replaced by more intricate cocktails and wine spritzers, but the mid-1990s saw a resurgence in the drink and numerous new versions.[2] Martinis are often used in art to symbolise joy and closure.[34] The fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond is famously known for ordering a "vodka martini, shaken, not stirred".[35] The phrase first appears, yet without the specification for "vodka", in the fourth book of the Bond novel series by Ian Fleming in Diamonds Are Forever (1956), but the Bond character is not the one that says it.[36] A variation of the phrase is uttered by the villain Dr. Julius No, in the first Bond film, Dr. No (1962), but again, Bond is not the character who says it.[36] In Casino Royale, Fleming invented the Vesper martini, with gin, vodka, and Kina Lillet. It was first uttered by the Bond character himself (Sean Connery), in its entirety, in the third Bond film, Goldfinger (1964).[36] On the American television show I Dream of Jeannie, Jeannie makes vodka martini gush from a rock in the desert for Captain Nelson, calling it his "favorite potion" (though at the time he needed water). The Australian writer Frank Moorhouse, (famous for creating complex female protagonists such as Edith in Dark Palace), was an uncompromising Martini enthusiast. His novels and short stories are often punctuated with extensive explanations of proper and improper ways to make a Martini. Moorhouse's book, Martini: A Memoir (2005), considers the cocktail as a way of being and a symbol for aspects of his own life. It also includes handy instructions for mixing the perfect Martini. On the American sitcom M*A*S*H, the main character Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce has a gin distillery in his tent, which he uses to make martinis in almost every episode.
