You a viewing a pair of mate gourds (cups) and bombillas (straws) made and purchased in southern Brazil. They both are new and I unwrapped one of them to take pictures. The other one is still in the original packaging. They both have the same heart design carved on the gourd. The dimensions of the gourds are: 6 inch height and 4 inch diameter for the unwrapped gourd. 5 inch height and 4 inch diameter for the wrapped gourd. The bombillas are approximately 8 1/4 inches long. The maker of the mate gourds is Galant Cuias. Also included are 2 filters that can be used at the end of the bombillas to keep from becoming clogged.Info regarding the gourd and bombilla: Some refer to the yerba mate gourd as a 'mate cup', and the yerba mate bombilla as a 'mate straw'. When you drink yerba mate with the gourd and bombilla, the special shape of the gourd compresses the yerba mate tea around the bombilla, allowing maximum nutrient extraction.
