Elegant mid-century Mexican brass and abalone shell serving set, designed and handcrafted in Mexico during the 1950s. This beautiful ensemble includes a rectangular tray and five tumblers, each intricately inlaid with iridescent abalone shell mosaics that shimmer in tones of green, blue, pink, and violet.
The tray is signed “Mexico”, while each cup is stamped “Alpaca LMG Mexico”, showcasing the quality and authenticity of Mexican metalwork from the era. The abalone’s natural luminosity pairs perfectly with the brass’s warm patina, creating a composition that is both functional and sculptural.
A stunning example of Mexican modern decorative arts, this set reflects the postwar design movement that merged indigenous materials and artisanal craftsmanship with mid-century aesthetics. Ideal for interior designers, collectors of Mexican art, or as a refined statement piece for a bar, dining area, or display cabinet.
