About the Item

A charming and collectible vintage silver-plated water pitcher designed and handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico by the highly regarded silversmithing workshop Los Fajardo. This sculptural piece showcases the whimsical artistry that made mid-century Taxco metalwork internationally admired. The pitcher is crafted in solid brass with a silver-plated finish, featuring a beautifully hammered body that catches the light with subtle texture and movement. Perched gracefully on the rim is a stylized parrot, which also serves as the handle—an iconic motif in Mexican decorative arts. The parrot is meticulously inlaid with natural blue stone, with a contrasting silver beak that adds depth and character to the design. The underside bears the maker’s hallmark: "Los Fajardo, Mexico, Plateado" This piece presents well and retains strong decorative presence, while showing expected vintage wear, including missing stone inlay at the tip of the tail and a few small dings to the body, consistent with age and use. Perfect for collectors of Mexican silver, Taxco metalwork, and organic modern design, and an excellent accent for interiors needing a touch of playful sophistication and handcrafted artistry.
