About the Item

Exceptional mid-century creamer and sugar set with tray by Los Castillo of Taxco, Mexico, representing the finest traditions of Mexican silversmithing. This sculptural serving set showcases the whimsical artistry and craftsmanship that made Taxco one of the most celebrated centers of silver design in the world. Each lid is crowned with a stylized pelican holding a fish, an elegant maritime motif. The fish features iridescent abalone shell inlay, adding color and movement against the luminous silver-plated surfaces. The creamer incorporates a beautifully curved pelican-form handle with abalone inlay, demonstrating the distinctive design language of Los Castillo workshop silversmiths. The pieces are crafted in solid brass with silver plating, giving them a substantial feel and warm patina developed over time. The set rests on a hammered rectangular tray with abalone shell accents in the handles, completing this striking example of Mexican modernist metalwork.
