Striking mid-20th century silver plate pitcher by Los Castillo, showcasing the workshop’s iconic blend of refined metalwork and playful, sculptural form. The handle is modeled as a parrot, inlaid with vivid malachite stones that provide rich color contrast against the polished silver surface.
The pitcher features elegant proportions, a gently flared spout, and substantial weight, making it equally suited as a decorative object, barware accent, or collector’s display piece. Los Castillo is widely regarded as one of the most important Taxco silver workshops of the 20th century, and animal-form handles with stone inlay are among their most sought-after designs.
A standout example of Mexican modernist design with strong visual presence and craftsmanship.
