About the Item
Elegant mid-century Mexican brass and abalone shell serving set comprising a rectangular tray and five tall tumblers, handcrafted in Mexico during the 1950s. Each piece is marked “Mexico” on the underside, exemplifying the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship that defined the Taxco decorative arts tradition of the period.
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.
This luxurious ensemble is both functional and sculptural—perfect for interior designers, collectors of Mexican modern design, or anyone seeking a striking barware or serving accent imbued with cultural richness.
