This sculptural tray showcases Castillo’s signature blend of organic motifs and fine metalwork, featuring a bold butterfly appliqué richly inlaid with natural semiprecious stones including turquoise, jasper, malachite, and sodalite.

The tray’s gently curved, square form is finished with a hammered surface, creating an elegant interplay of light and texture—an aesthetic hallmark of Castillo’s workshop. The stone-inlaid butterfly introduces a colorful and whimsical focal point, making the piece suitable both for functional serving and for display as an object of decorative art.

The underside retains the full Emilia Castillo hallmark, reading:
Emilia Castillo, Mexico M.R., TO-85, Plateado.

A striking example of modern Mexican silversmithing, this tray is ideal for interior designers, collectors of Taxco silver, and enthusiasts of Emilia Castillo’s sculptural, nature-inspired works.
