A charming porcelain and pure silver decorative bowl designed and handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico by celebrated artist Emilia Castillo. This 2009 piece features Castillo’s signature marriage of fine ceramics with sculptural silver inlay—here expressed through a delicate composition of butterflies, trailing vines, leaves, and tiny blossoms that spiral gracefully across both the interior and exterior of the bowl.
Signed “Emilia Castillo, Plata, Mexico, 09”, the work highlights the artist’s meticulous craftsmanship and unmistakable organic aesthetic. The warm honey-toned porcelain provides an elegant backdrop for the polished silver details, creating a visual interplay of texture and movement ideal for display in refined contemporary interiors.
Emilia Castillo is part of one of Taxco’s most important artistic dynasties. She is the daughter of Antonio Castillo, one of the visionary brothers who founded Los Castillo, the legendary workshop that shaped the evolution of Mexican silver design. Her work continues this tradition through imaginative forms, hand-sculpted silver appliqué, and motifs inspired by nature—qualities that make her pieces highly sought after by interior designers, collectors of modern Mexican craft, and admirers of studio ceramics and metalwork.
This bowl is in good condition, with subtle signs of age and use consistent with its handcrafted nature.
