A lovely set of 6 Cera " Old World Atlas Map" cocktail tumblers. Such a magical pattern with it's heavy embossing of old world atlas maps outlines in 22k gold. Similar to Culver and other MCM glassware manufacturers, Cera used used a heavily textured embossing method with real 22k gold in the pattern. Truly a stunning set. These appear to be NOS (new old stock) and come with their original care card/instructions.
