About the Item

A stunning and substantial hand-hammered silver-plated copper salad bowl with matching serving utensils by Emilia Castillo, renowned Mexican silversmith celebrated for her sculptural and organic designs. The bowl and servers are beautifully detailed with naturalistic twisted rope accents secured by bands of genuine malachite inlay, combining earthy texture with brilliant metallic sheen. The handcrafted surfaces showcase Castillo’s signature hammered finish—reflecting light in a warm, dappled glow—while the contrast of verdant green malachite against the gleaming silver adds refined visual drama. The matching utensils, each measuring approximately 15"L x 4"W, mirror the same rope and malachite detailing, creating a harmonious and elegant presentation. This exquisite set perfectly embodies Organic Modern and Contemporary Mexican design, reflecting Castillo’s blend of natural materials, artisanal craftsmanship, and sophisticated modern form. A showpiece for any dining table or collector of fine Mexican silverwork. Emilia Castillo is the daughter of Antonio Castillo, one of the four founding brothers of Los Castillo, the legendary Taxco silver workshop established in the 1930s. Los Castillo became internationally celebrated for its innovative use of mixed materials—silver combined with copper, brass, and semi-precious stones—and for collaborations with artists such as William Spratling. Emilia inherited this artisanal legacy, establishing her own studio in Taxco in the late 1980s. Her work now in jewelry continues the family tradition of fine metalcraft while introducing a more organic modern aesthetic, blending silver-plated copper, natural stones, and hand-hammered textures in sculptural, contemporary forms.
