Emilia Castillo Black Porcelain Bowl with Pure Silver Inlay, Mexico, 1997

About the Item

A captivating decorative bowl by renowned Mexican designer Emilia Castillo, handcrafted in black porcelain and intricately inlaid with pure silver. This generously scaled piece features a sweeping botanical design of leafy branches and dragonflies, with three parrots perched and in flight—a recurring motif in Castillo’s work. The contrast between the matte black porcelain and the gleaming silver inlay creates a striking visual balance, blending nature-inspired artistry with contemporary form. Stamped on the underside: Emilia Castillo, Plata Pura MR, Mexico 97, 22. A signature example of Castillo’s fusion of traditional Mexican craftsmanship with fine metalsmithing. Ideal as a centerpiece, wall-hung decorative art, or collector's piece.
