About the Item

A sculptural vintage silver-plated water pitcher with malachite inlay designed and manufactured by Los Castillo in Taxco, Mexico during the 1960s. This beautifully crafted pitcher embodies the playful and artistic spirit of mid-century Mexican modern design, featuring a whimsical bird and botanical motif executed with striking malachite stone inlay. The vibrant green malachite contrasts elegantly against the polished silver-plated body, creating a dynamic visual composition typical of the celebrated Taxco silver workshops. The sculptural handle is also accented with malachite, enhancing the organic design and making the piece visually captivating from every angle. The bird and floral forms appear almost animated across the vessel, giving the pitcher a charming decorative quality that elevates it beyond functional barware into the realm of collectible decorative art. Pieces from Los Castillo are widely appreciated by collectors and interior designers for their combination of modernist design, fine metalwork, and use of natural stone inlays. This example is fully hallmarked: “Los Castillo, Taxco, Mexico, Plateado, TA-01, #203.” Whether used as a barware pitcher, decorative object, or centerpiece, this piece adds a refined touch of Mexican modernist artistry to any interior. Ideal for interior designers, collectors of Taxco silver, and enthusiasts of mid-century decorative arts. Measurements Height: 5.25 in. Width (including handle): 6.50 in. Depth: 4.75 in.
