    Description

    This listing is for a hand-wrought Yerba Mate silver cup on a stand with 6 silver spoon bombilla straws.   The cup on stand has a Spanish Colonial design and it's older while the straws appear to be more modern.   The cup on stand is is 2 1/2" in diameter ad 5 1/2" tall.  It is unmarked but has been acid tested and it's at least 80% silver content.  The spoon Bombillas are 4 7/8" long and are all hallmarked 800 for 80% silver content.  Everything was made in one of the South American countries - maybe Argentina, Uruguay or Paraguay.  The cup on stand weighs 101.5 grams (3.26 troy ounces) and the 6 straws weigh 48.7 grams (1.56 troy ounces).  Total is 4.82 troy ounces (150.2 grams).
    Everything is in very good, pre-owned condition with no distracting dings or dents.  There is one spot that may be a ding on the cup but there are also tool marks in that same spot so not sure it that is just a flaw or if that is an actual ding/dent.  There is also some roughness on the upper rim of the cup.  I have lightly polished these pieces but they could all use a more thorough polishing.  Please see all pictures for details.
