About the Item
A whimsical and beautifully handcrafted three-piece serving set designed and manufactured in Taxco, Mexico by celebrated silversmith Emilia Castillo. The set includes two hammered bowls and a matching hammered cup, each adorned with Castillo’s iconic sculptural worm motif—a playful and instantly recognizable element in her body of work.
Executed in hammered silver-plated metal, each piece displays the textured, organic surface that defines Castillo’s workshop, reflecting both traditional Taxco silversmithing techniques and her own contemporary artistic flair. The sculpted worms—expressive, fluid, and full of personality—serve as handles or decorative accents, giving the set a luxurious yet lighthearted presence.
All three pieces retain full hallmarks:
“Emilia Castillo, Mexico, M.R., TO-85, Plateado”

Her work is highly sought after by collectors of Mexican decorative arts, Taxco design, and signature sculptural silver.
