A charming and highly collectible pair of salt and pepper shakers designed by Emilia Castillo, handcrafted in celadon green porcelain with sculptural elements in plata pura (pure silver) in Taxco, Mexico, and dated 1998.
These whimsical tabletop accessories feature playful silver frogs climbing and resting atop smooth porcelain forms, beautifully complemented by hand-applied silver dragonfly motifs. The organic composition reflects Emilia Castillo’s celebrated design language, combining nature-inspired forms with refined Mexican silversmithing traditions.
Each shaker is hand-signed and numbered on the underside, marked:
“Emilia Castillo MR Plata Pura Taxco Mexico 1998”
with edition numbers #9 and #23.
The tops are delicately hand-perforated for dispensing, making the pieces both functional and sculptural. Their elegant celadon glaze and silver detailing allow them to work equally well in a curated tabletop setting, modern dining vignette, or decorative cabinet display.
Emilia Castillo is internationally recognized for her innovative designs produced in Taxco, the historic center of Mexican silversmithing. Her work is sought after by collectors of modern Mexican decorative arts, studio silver, and luxury tabletop design.
Perfect for collectors, interior designers, or anyone looking to introduce a refined Mexican modern accent to a curated interior.
