A lovely set of Cera "World Atlas Map" glasses that include 3 tumblers and 2 small rocks glasses. Such a magical pattern with its heavy embossing of old world atlas maps outlined 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. If you're not up on your geography, this set will get you there! Why not sip your drinks out of these stunning rocks glasses?!
