About the Item

A whimsical and sculptural silver-plated water pitcher designed and handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico by celebrated artist Emilia Castillo. Made in solid brass and finished in a polished silver plate, the pitcher features Castillo’s iconic hammered texture and an imaginative monkey-form handle that wraps playfully around the vessel. The elongated limbs, expressive face, and stylized hands transform the pitcher into a functional piece of art—perfect for design-forward interiors and curated collections. The pitcher retains its original hallmark: “Emilia Castillo, Mexico, M.R., TO-85, Plateado.” This confirms its production in the Castillo family workshop, the same artistic lineage that began with Antonio Castillo of the legendary Los Castillo studio—an institution that shaped modern Mexican silver design and elevated Taxco’s international reputation. Emilia Castillo continues this legacy through her unmistakable blend of storytelling, craftsmanship, and organic sculptural forms. Her pieces are highly prized by interior designers, collectors of Mexican modernism, and anyone seeking functional objects imbued with personality, humor, and artisanal depth. The pitcher is in vintage condition and shows wear consistent with age, including surface scratches, silver loss, and nicks, all clearly shown in the photos. These signs of age enhance its authenticity and charm as a collectible Taxco work. Dimensions Height: 10 in. (25.4 cm) Width: 7.5 in. (19.05 cm) Depth: 9.5 in. (24.13 cm, including handle) A standout decorative accent and an excellent example of Emilia Castillo’s imaginative approach to metalwork.
