Online checking finds the suggestion that Mint Juleps are an American \"Southerner\" improvement on the South American Yerba mate idea. So while thesewere designed to stir and sip ice tea or cocktails they should work equally well forwhatever libation you serveat your next Soiree.

Condition: Used good, both decorative and functional, it is in excellent shape overall while showing minor dings, scrapes and other slight signs of age and use. The hand work is high in detailed period engraving. A few minor light scratches and dings plus just the right amount of age patina to look correctly vintage.
