Vida Tortoise Acrylic Cocktail Napkin Holder by Beatriz Ball

A clean square form and amber-brown tortoise pattern make this acrylic holder a warm accent beside drinks. The six-inch footprint contains a small stack of beverage napkins without the scale of a full serving tray. It can also gather a few small dry pieces on a desk, with the raised sides giving them a clear boundary.

“A modest stack of napkins is more inviting to me than an overfilled holder. It is easy to replenish, easy to take from, and allows a little tortoise pattern to provide the decoration beside the drinks.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Cuban-born designer Beatriz Ball began working with metal artisans outside Mexico City in 1991. Her signature metalware is still made one piece at a time in the brand’s own foundry in Mexico: sand casting gives the forms their character, and successive hand-polishing stages bring out the alloy’s silvery luster. More than twelve pairs of hands take part in the making. The appeal is that combination of expressive shape and useful purpose, with the warmth of handwork and none of silver’s routine tarnish polishing.
