This charming suite includes five matching goblets featuring Castillo’s signature butterfly motif, each inlaid with a vibrant mosaic of semiprecious stones—including turquoise, jasper, malachite, and onyx—and one coordinating goblet featuring a floral stone-inlaid design in lapis lazuli and jasper. Though distinct in motif, all six pieces share identical proportions, hammered texture, and spiral stems, allowing them to blend seamlessly as a unified set.

Crafted in solid brass, then silver plated, the goblets display a richly hammered finish that reflects light beautifully. Each piece is signed with the full Emilia Castillo hallmark:
“Emilia Castillo – Mexico M.R. – TO-85 – Plateado.”

One goblet shows a visible scratch, photographed for accuracy, consistent with age and handmade construction.
