Striking and sculptural serving bowl / molcajete designed by renowned Taxco silversmith Emilia Castillo, masterfully blending traditional Mexican craftsmanship with modern decorative artistry.
This exceptional piece features a hand-carved volcanic stone base, reminiscent of a traditional molcajete, supporting a hammered silver-plated bowl adorned with finely cast frog figures perched along the rim. The whimsical yet refined composition is a signature of Castillo’s work—merging organic forms, luxury materials, and playful narrative design.
The interior displays a richly textured hammered finish, enhancing light reflection and visual depth, while the accompanying matching silver-plated serving spoon echoes the same handcrafted quality.
A true statement object, ideal as:
A centerpiece bowl for a coffee or dining table
A decorative object for curated interiors
A collectible example of Taxco Mexican modern silversmithing
