About the Item
A whimsical and collectible salt and pepper shaker set designed and handcrafted by Emilia Castillo in Taxco, Mexico. This charming duo depicts a mother frog and baby frog, each sculpted in porcelain and decorated with pure silver inlay, a signature detail of Castillo’s nature-inspired aesthetic.
Both pieces are signed “Emilia Castillo, Plata Pura, México, Marca Registrada,” dated 98, and numbered 27, confirming authenticity and studio origin.
