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.

Ideal for interior designers, collectors of Mexican art, or as a refined statement piece for a bar, dining area, or display cabinet.
