About the Item
Whimsical silver-plated water pitcher designed and handcrafted in the 1960s by the renowned Los Fajardo workshop of Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico. This charming piece captures the playful elegance of mid-century Mexican silver artistry, featuring a beautifully modeled parrot perched gracefully along the rim. The bird’s body is exquisitely inlaid with vibrant lapis lazuli and turquoise mosaics, forming a striking contrast against the hand-hammered silver surface of the pitcher.
The Fajardo family were among the influential artisans who helped define Taxco’s postwar silversmithing movement—an era that brought global recognition to the city’s craftsmanship, born from centuries of silver mining and artistic innovation. Their works embody the creative vitality that followed in the footsteps of legendary Taxco masters such as Los Castillo and William Spratling.
A perfect blend of artistry and humor, this sculptural pitcher adds character and sophistication to any decorative setting or collector’s display.
