This elegant piece is executed in solid copper with silver-plated accents and features natural jasper stone inlay, arranged in a striking geometric collar that adds depth, color, and visual rhythm to the form.

The silhouette is refined and architectural, with a softly tapering body and flared neck. The contrast between the warm copper, luminous silver-plated surfaces, and earthy banded jasper reflects the essence of Mexican Modern design—where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary expression.

Hand-signed by Emilia Castillo, the piece also retains its original hallmark to the underside reading:
“Emilia Castillo, Mexico, M.R., Plateado, TO-85”—a clear indicator of authenticity and origin within the Taxco silversmithing tradition.

Emilia Castillo, daughter of master silversmith Antonio Castillo of Los Castillo, is widely recognized for elevating Mexican decorative arts through her innovative use of mixed materials such as stone, shell, and metal. Her work embodies the legacy of Taxco while pushing it into a more sculptural and modern direction, making her pieces highly sought after by collectors and interior design professionals alike.

This vase works beautifully as a standalone decorative object, in a curated vignette, or as part of a collection of Mexican Modernism and Taxco silver.
