About the Item

A bold and sculptural hammered silver pitcher by Emilia Castillo, featuring her iconic “ball handle” design. The arched handle is accented with a series of polished silver spheres, giving the piece a striking modernist silhouette while still rooted in traditional Taxco silversmithing. This large pitcher bears the hallmark: “Emilia Castillo, Mexico, M.R., TO-85, Plateado”, ensuring authenticity. The interior is silver-plated with a warm gilt wash, contrasting beautifully with the highly reflective hammered exterior. As the daughter of Antonio Castillo of the famed Los Castillo workshop, Emilia continues a family legacy that helped establish Taxco, Guerrero as one of the world’s great centers of silver artistry. Her pieces are celebrated for blending sculptural design, functional form, and a playful spirit. This pitcher is both a collectible treasure and a decorative statement piece, ideal for interior designers, collectors of Mexican silver, and lovers of bold modern design. Measurements Height: 8 in. Width: 10 in. (including handle) Depth: 7 in.
