I recently found these glass llamas from Peru. Who knows... They could be rare or they could be touristy kitsch, but I like them.

CUTE!
Nice.
I don't know if are very rare. But not at all "touristy kitsch".
I never saw them.
How do you know it's Peruvian?,OK OK it's a llama, I see 😉
It looks much more good quality than the average.
I'm not an expert on Peruvian design, but it dosen't look as typical Peruvian,
eh.... MCM Peruvian?
Is made of glass and metal, or is painted or something over the glass?
I love it!

Thank you Gustavo and Ite. We...
Thank you Gustavo and Ite. Well, I believe they're Peruvian because a few years ago I saw some like them in the home of a friend who's mother is from Peru. I think she said she bought them while visiting family there. I've asked the friend for more information, but she's yet to respond.
They are good quality. The silver on them is silverplate, which is applied evenly with apparent skill. I'm very glad to have them.
