About the Item

A whimsical and highly collectible silver-plated water pitcher designed and manufactured in Taxco, Mexico by the celebrated workshop Los Castillo. This sculptural vessel showcases the firm’s signature blend of mixed metals, innovative forms, and exquisite handcraftsmanship that helped define mid-century Mexican modernism. The pitcher features a beautifully hammered silver-plated body with a warm, reflective texture. Its most striking detail is the bird-shaped handle, masterfully crafted in brass and copper with a dramatic crest and stylized beak. The elongated handle is inlaid with Lapis Lazuli and other natural stones, forming a mosaic-like vertical panel that adds depth, color, and unmistakable Taxco artistry. The underside retains the full workshop hallmark: “Los Castillo, Taxco, TO-01, Plateado, Hecho en Mexico.” A remarkable example of Los Castillo’s creativity—ideal for collectors of Mexican silver, mid-century modern design, Taxco decorative arts, or those seeking a functional piece of sculptural tableware that doubles as art. Measurements 9.50 in high (24.1 cm) 3 in wide (7.6 cm) 6 in deep including handle (15.2 cm) A standout decorative accent for barware, dining rooms, or curated display shelves.
