This is for the host who knows a little theatre belongs at the table.

Maison Balzac’s Prawn Cocktail Coupe turns a classic serve into a wonderfully cheeky object, with an everlasting glass prawn curled over the rim as if it arrived early for drinks. Made entirely from borosilicate glass, the shallow coupe holds approximately 250 ml, just right for prawn cocktail or a favourite snack. Its compact 8 cm height and broad 11 cm mouth give it an elegant, low profile, while the base measures 7 cm in diameter.

Bring it out for aperitivo, then leave it on display between gatherings. A memorable hostess gift for someone who likes their tableware with a wink.
