Whether you're celebrating that important anniversary or merely a World Cup win, we often use champagne to mark these special occasions. While once new and modern, the champagne flute has become a bit tired and common. Still the best for capturing that bubbly flavour, the tall thin glasses always feel precarious and ready to topple. But there is an alternative, the champagne saucer adds a bit of retro glamour and decadence to your parties. I expect to see many more of these appearing on shop shelves next season, but if you want to be ahead of the trend I've found two modern champagne saucers you can pick up now. The first is the sleek and swirling Linea Spirit by House of Fraser. Made from cut crystal the Spirit Champagne Saucer has the weight and sophistication perfect for those romantic occasions. The second is the tall and spindly Champagne Saucer by LSA. High on drama, these mouth-blown handmade glasses have long slender stems and wide shallow bowls. A contemporary interpretation of the classic Champagne Saucer, the LSA is a contrast of form and shape. A brilliant revival of a classic glass shape, the Champagne Saucer is a brilliant choice for your next big event.
Linea Spirit Crystal Champagne Saucer - £12
