This is an amazing stackable solid sterling shot (maybe saki) glass set. Each cup fits in the next and finally closes inside a solid sterling case. It has an amazing patina with hand etched flowering on the side. Im not sure who or where it was made. My great grandfather was a well traveled Delta pilot so it could be from anywhere. I have looked everywhere and have never seen anything like it. Each piece is stamped Sterling 970.
Weight 3.7 oz
Height 3.5 in
Width 2.5 in
Any Ideas?
Two things would suggest Japanese origin: the etched blossoms, and the 970 (970/ 1000) silver content which is higher than the 925 sterling standard.
