*Please note : larger sets are cheaper per item. Email us for bulk orders or special requirements.
The shape of this collection of glasses is manifested from the union of two elements.
A cylindrical center and a kind of wavy ring that forms an X shpae that in turn refers to the way the ancient Mexicas tied their flowers or canes.
There is even a symbol for this "ACATL" or reed.
This form has also been used in architecture, the anahuacalli museum for example, if the central part of the building is observed on the facade, it makes this movement in the shape of an X that the reeds produce when tied to the center with force and this form gives stability to the tie to stay in vertical way.
