About the Item

A spectacular and whimsical pair of silver-plated serving utensils designed and handcrafted in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico by celebrated artist Emilia Castillo. Known for her sculptural interpretations of flora and fauna, Castillo brings her signature artistry to this pair of “Parrot” serving utensils, each topped with a perched tropical bird rendered in exquisite detail. The sculptural parrots are intricately inlaid with natural malachite, enhanced with brass beaks, and framed by crushed-emerald leaves, making the set visually striking and highly collectible. The hammered bodies of both the spoon and fork reflect Castillo’s mastery of metalwork, offering texture, shine, and a sense of tactile craftsmanship. Both pieces are hand-signed by Emilia Castillo and stamped with her full hallmark: “Emilia Castillo / Mexico M.R. / TO-85 / Plateado.” A perfect accent for refined dining, the set can elevate any table setting—from casual entertaining to high-end interior design installations. Their sculptural character also makes them suitable as decorative objects when displayed in a kitchen, on a serving board, or in a curated collection of Mexican modernist design. About Emilia Castillo As the daughter of Antonio Castillo, co-founder of the world-renowned Los Castillo workshop, Emilia Castillo represents the second generation of one of Mexico’s most influential design families. Her work continues the bold Taxco silversmithing legacy that reshaped 20th-century Mexican metalwork, celebrated for its innovation, craftsmanship, and artistic expression. Castillo’s creations—frequently incorporating stone inlays, nature motifs, and mixed metals—remain highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Measurements Spoon: 15.50 in length 3.25 in width 2 in height Fork: 15.50 in length 3.25 in width 2 in height A standout collectible for admirers of Mexican silver, Taxco artistry, and the imaginative design world of Emilia Castillo.
