About the Item
A striking large water pitcher designed and manufactured in Taxco, Mexico by the renowned workshop Los Castillo, one of the most influential names in 20th-century Mexican modern silver and metalwork.
This sculptural pitcher is crafted using a traditional layered technique: solid brass, copper plated, and then silver plated, resulting in a luminous surface with rich tonal depth. The elegant, organic silhouette—defined by a swelling body, flared spout, and elongated handle—reflects Los Castillo’s mastery of form, balancing functionality with bold modernist design.
Founded by Antonio Castillo in Taxco, Los Castillo became internationally celebrated for elevating Mexican decorative arts through innovative forms, experimental finishes, and exceptional hand craftsmanship. The workshop played a central role in shaping the Taxco modern silver movement, producing works that were collected, exhibited, and admired worldwide. Pieces such as this pitcher exemplify the atelier’s ability to transform utilitarian objects into sculptural statements.
The surface shows honest vintage wear, including areas of silver loss, light nicks, and mild scratches, consistent with age and use. This patina enhances the character of the piece and underscores its authenticity as a mid-century object handcrafted in one of Mexico’s most important silversmithing centers.
Equally suited as a decorative vessel, barware accent, or sculptural object, this pitcher makes a compelling addition to interiors ranging from Mexican modern and mid-century to eclectic and contemporary spaces.
