Celebrated for her imaginative sculptural designs and exquisite material combinations, Castillo continues the legacy of one of Taxco’s most important creative dynasties—daughter of the legendary Metales Casados / Los Castillo silversmithing family that helped define 20th-century Mexican decorative arts.

This whimsical small pitcher features a beautifully formed toucan handle, expertly inlaid with natural black onyx and jasper stones. The bird’s stylized beak and body create a lively, organic silhouette, perfectly balanced with the vessel’s hammered silver-plated brass body and twisted rim detail.

Castillo’s signature combination of hand-carved stone inlay, mixed metals, and sculptural design results in a piece that functions both as tableware and as a small work of art. The underside bears the full hallmark:

“Emilia Castillo, Mexico, M.R., TO-85, Plateado.”

Perfect for collectors of Mexican silver, Animalia-themed decorative arts, Taxco modernism, and anyone drawn to Emilia Castillo’s celebrated blend of craftsmanship, whimsy, and lineage.
