About the Item
Charming and full of personality, this pair of cat-shaped salt and pepper shakers was designed and handcrafted in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico by renowned silversmith Emilia Castillo in 1996. Each piece is meticulously made in black porcelain with inlaid pure silver, capturing the designer’s signature blend of humor, craftsmanship, and luxury.
The pair features two expressive cats — one striped, one spotted — resting proudly on circular cushions adorned with delicate silver details. Their stylized faces and curving tails evoke the timeless companionship and mystery that have connected cats and humans throughout history, from ancient guardians of temples to beloved muses of modern art.
Both pieces are signed “Emilia Castillo, M.R. Plata Pura, Mexico, 96”, with the striped cat numbered 5 and the spotted cat 10, underscoring their authenticity and collectible appeal.
A delightful addition to any table setting, design collection, or feline-themed décor, these shakers exemplify Mexican contemporary craftsmanship and Castillo’s poetic interpretation of nature and everyday life.
