Elegant set of six handcrafted teacups with matching saucers, designed and manufactured in Mexico during the 1950s. Each piece is beautifully made of solid brass with abalone shell inlay, showcasing the refined artistry and natural iridescence characteristic of mid-century Mexican design.

Each cup features a gracefully curved handle and is paired with a saucer detailed with radiant shell segments. The bases are stamped “Hecho en México,” confirming their authenticity and origin.
A striking addition to any dining setting, bar, or collector’s display, this set reflects the celebrated Taxco design tradition, known for its inventive combinations of metal and natural materials during the postwar era.
