About the Item
This silver vase by Emilia Castillo feels alive with personality. Three silver lizards climb playfully up its surface, their bodies accented with deep green malachite inlay that gives the piece a vibrant, organic touch. The hammered silver catches the light beautifully, creating a lively backdrop for the creatures, almost as if they were frozen mid-movement.
Stamped “Emilia Castillo, Mexico, M.R., TO-85, Plateado,” the vase carries the hallmark of one of Mexico’s most important design families. Emilia, daughter of Antonio Castillo of the famed Los Castillo workshop, is known for infusing her pieces with a sense of wonder and natural beauty while honoring the silversmithing traditions of Taxco.
It’s the kind of piece that draws the eye instantly — part sculpture, part vessel, and entirely collectible. Whether placed on a console table, in a curated collection, or as a standalone statement, it adds both artistry and charm to any setting.
