Engravings: The cups are decorated with Islamic/Eastern engravings and ornaments (resembling traditional Moroccan or Turkish style) in shiny gold or copper color. The engravings contain small colored stones (in burgundy/purple color) that give them a luxurious appearance. The upper and lower edges of the cups are also surrounded by a golden frame. Usage: These cups are usually used for serving brewed tea, Moroccan mint tea, or cold drinks on occasions and for Arabic hospitality.
