About the Item
A striking porcelain and pure silver decorative bowl designed and crafted in Taxco, Mexico by renowned artist Emilia Castillo. This sculptural piece showcases Castillo’s signature blend of fine ceramics with meticulously applied silver accents—including two beautifully modeled silver iguanas draped along the rim and delicate silver inlaid dragonflies scattered inside and around the exterior.
Signed “Emilia Castillo, Plata, Mexico, 09”, the bowl reflects the artist’s celebrated craftsmanship and her deep connection to the Castillo family legacy. Emilia Castillo is the daughter of Antonio Castillo, one of the founding brothers of the iconic Los Castillo workshop—an institution responsible for elevating Taxco’s reputation as a global center of inventive, high-quality silver design. Her work continues this lineage while introducing a whimsical, nature-inspired aesthetic that has made her pieces highly sought after by interior designers and collectors of contemporary Mexican art.
The bowl’s matte charcoal porcelain contrasts beautifully with the warm, lustrous silver overlays, creating a tactile and visually captivating piece suitable for display on consoles, center tables, bookcases, or as part of a curated tabletop vignette.
In good vintage condition, with only gentle surface wear consistent with age.
