The set showcases an intricate mosaic inlay of iridescent abalone shell, capturing shifting tones of green, pink, violet, and blue—contrasted beautifully against the warm brass structure. The tray features a slightly curved profile framed in brass, while the tall cylindrical tumblers reflect a seamless rhythm of natural shell patterns.
