One demitasse and saucer. Abalone shell mosaic on Alpaca Silver, shimmering with blues, purples, pinks, greens and silver.
A rare work of Mexican artisan craft — both cup and saucer covered in an intricate mosaic of harvested abalone shell, one of the world's most prized materials, gathered from only a few shorelines globally. The base is marked "Mexico Alpaca." Alpaca Silver (also known as Paktong or German Silver) is a lustrous copper-nickel-zinc alloy developed in 1823, prized for its visual resemblance to sterling — no silver, no alpacas. A one-of-a-kind display piece or a very memorable gift.
