I have a good collection of coupe glasses, all from thrift stores. You can get matching glasses at the larger stores, as there are a number of designs which seem to have been quite popular. As was pointed out earlier, the depth and capacity vary greatly. I serve a number of classic small-volume drinks for which a coupe glass, or a hard-to-find Nick & Nora glass, is ideal.

"Tiki" coupe glasses? I have not seen any personally, although I do recall some sold online with palm tree trunk stems.

Coupe glasses could be decorated by wrapping something around the stem like a bamboo leaf, a ti leaf, or a number of other organic materials. Even a small strip of cool tapa cloth, or a piece of tropical-themed fabric from an old and un-wearable aloha shirt may work.
