About the Item
Elegant mid-century Mexican barware set comprised of six brass shot glasses and a matching rectangular tray, each adorned with meticulously hand-inlaid abalone shell. The iridescent nacre tiles shimmer with hues of green, blue, lavender, and pearl, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of the Taxco silversmith tradition of the 1950s.
Stamped “Hecho en México” on the underside, this set reflects the artistry and innovation of Mexico’s postwar design movement, when local artisans masterfully combined organic materials such as abalone, malachite, and onyx with metals like brass and alpaca silver to create refined, modernist works of functional art.
A striking addition to any bar or collector of Mexican mid-century design, perfect for serving tequila, mezcal, or liqueurs.
