About the Item

Elegant handcrafted malachite and silver plate serving tray designed and manufactured in Mexico circa 1950s, executed in the distinctive style of the Los Castillo workshop of Taxco. This beautiful piece showcases the refined craftsmanship and organic modernism that defined mid-century Mexican design. The tray features a subtly rounded square form with a hammered silver surface that reflects light in soft, undulating patterns, bordered by vibrant inlaid malachite panels displaying deep green and blue tones. The natural variations in the stone create a luxurious contrast against the cool brilliance of the silver. Stamped Hecho en Mexico, this tray exemplifies the artistry and innovation for which Mexican silversmiths became renowned in the mid-twentieth century. Perfect for collectors of fine Mexican silver or as a statement decorative accent in a sophisticated interior, this piece embodies timeless craftsmanship and modernist elegance.
