Vintage Ruby Cocktail Glasses (Set of Six)

Vintage Ruby Cocktail Glasses (Set of Six)
Discovered at Guadalajara’s Trocadero Flea Market, this set of six vintage Mexican cocktail glasses captures the elegance of postwar entertaining. Handblown and finished with a rich ruby overlay, each glass is delicately wheel-engraved and accented with hand-applied gold bands, combining craftsmanship with the refined glamour of mid-century Mexico. Whether used for cocktails, aperitifs, or simply displayed as part of a bar collection, these glasses reflect an era when everyday entertaining was elevated through thoughtful design and meticulous handwork. Gentle variations and signs of age are part of their history, making every set entirely unique.

About the Trocadero Flea Market
Every Sunday, Avenida México in Guadalajara transforms into El Trocadero, one of Mexico’s most celebrated antique and vintage markets. Founded in 1996 by a small group of collectors and antique dealers, it has grown into an essential destination for designers, collectors, and enthusiasts in search of exceptional objects from across the country. For us, Trocadero has become an indispensable stop on every visit to Guadalajara. Dealers arrive from Jalisco, the Bajío, and northern Mexico, bringing with them an extraordinary range of objects—from vintage Tonalá ceramics and mid-century glass to furniture, folk art, industrial pieces, and decorative objects that have quietly found their way out of Mexican homes. Many of the vintage pieces in the Embajada collection begin here. We return often, searching not simply for antiques, but for objects that embody the craftsmanship, character, and design history of Mexico. Every visit is different, and every discovery is one of a kind.
