The set includes a sculptural creamer pitcher, a covered sugar pot with its original lid, and a matching serving tray. Each piece is executed in polished silver plate with elegant classical silhouettes raised on pedestal bases. The handles and finial are beautifully accented with inlaid azurite and malachite stone, a signature decorative technique associated with high-quality Mexican modernist metalwork from Taxco.

The tray features a dramatic circular border inlaid with malachite stone segments, creating a striking contrast against the reflective silver surface while adding a sophisticated jewel-like detail. The sculptural profiles and vibrant natural stone accents make this set equally compelling as a functional serving ensemble or as decorative objects for a bar, dining vignette, or curated interior display.

All pieces retain the Los Castillo hallmark: “Los Castillo Taxco Hecho en Mexico.”

Highly sought after by collectors of Taxco silver, Mexican modern decorative arts, and mid-century barware, this set also offers strong appeal for interior designers looking to incorporate authentic handcrafted pieces into luxury residential or hospitality interiors.

A beautiful example of the Taxco silversmith tradition, where metalwork and natural stone are combined to create timeless decorative objects.
