A domed mirrored trinket bowl in silver blown glass, sourced in Mexico City.

Mexico has a long history in the decorative glass arts. These mirrored metallic pieces were first manufactured in the last century, known as poor man's silver. In the more rural areas of Oaxaca and Puebla, these pieces were initially used in low-income churches to give the rich appearance of silver. In the latter half of the last century, the pieces have been refined to provide more sculptural, elegant pieces.
