About the Item

Elegant and richly detailed porcelain and pure silver bowl designed and handcrafted by Emilia Castillo in Taxco, Mexico, dated 1995 and marked “Emilia Castillo, Plata Pura, Mexico, M.R., #13.” This exceptional piece exemplifies Castillo’s signature fusion of fine materials and lyrical design, continuing the silversmithing legacy established by her father, Antonio Castillo, co-founder of the legendary Los Castillo workshop. The bowl features a deep cobalt blue porcelain body delicately inlaid with pure silver vine and leaf motifs, accented by dragonflies and a stylized bird in flight — a recurring theme in Emilia’s nature-inspired repertoire. The fine silver inlay contrasts beautifully with the vibrant blue glaze, producing a sense of lightness and fluid movement. Emilia Castillo is internationally recognized for her work that bridges traditional Mexican craftsmanship with contemporary design sensibilities, often merging porcelain, silver, and natural elements to create objects of refined artistry and poetic charm. Her creations are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike for their organic forms and impeccable craftsmanship. A striking collector’s object and a testament to Taxco’s enduring artistry. Measurements: Diameter: 9.50 in (24.13 cm) Height: 3.50 in (8.89 cm) Condition: Good condition with little wear consistent with age. Silver inlay retains its brilliance; glaze remains even and lustrous.
