By famed Mexican artist Emilia Castillo, we have a set of 6 (six) wine goblets made of hammered copper then plated in silver. The surface is dimpled texture, shiny finish, interiors have a satin finish. On each of the glasses is a 3-D sculptural lizard "climbing" the stem, complete with green turquoise (?) stone inlay. Broad and sturdy foot. Marked on the bottom "EMILIA CASTILLO M. R." and 10-85.

Since each goblet is hand crafted, not from a mold, there is slight variance to measurements. Roughly 6 1/2 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Stem is about 2 1/2 inches tall. Each has nice substantial weight of about 260g.

These have never been used as drinking vessels, only displayed as art pieces. They do show patina due to age. I have polished them a bit by hand, but if you wish to buff them completely I'll leave that up to you. No nicks, scratches, or stone loss. My home is smoke free. See less
