This set of Genuine Vintage Alpacca Eberle German Silver Bombilla Straws for Yerba Mate consists of 6 silver plated tea straws with a length of 8 inches. The straws feature a mid-century modern style floral repoussé designs on the handles, reflecting South American culture. Hand wash only to maintain their original beauty. Made in Argentina in the 1950s, these bombilla straws add a touch of elegance to traditional Yerba tea drinking.
Purchased in South America by family in the 1950s. They are high quality alpaca nickel silver produced by German-Argentinian manufacturer Eberle.
These feature a repoussé leaf (floral work) on the straw portion which was very common of mid-century artisanal work.
The spoon shape style is typical of older, traditional bombillas which are slightly curved to accommodate the handle while drinking from the gourd.
These do not rust, only tarnish, so a light cleaning with boiling water and baking soda removes a lot of the tarnish and renews it back to its silver shine.
Straws are 8” in length, set comes with six straws.
