This elegant piece reflects Castillo’s celebrated approach to Mexican silver design, blending organic motifs with modern craftsmanship.

The platter features a smooth white porcelain surface framed by a continuous bamboo motif executed in solid silver, with delicately sculpted leaves and nodes that evoke natural bamboo branches encircling the rim. The contrast between the luminous porcelain and the warm patina of the silver creates a sophisticated and timeless composition.

Perfect for interior designers, collectors of Mexican modern design, and admirers of Taxco silverwork, the piece brings a subtle organic elegance to dining or tabletop settings.
