About the Item

An exceptional and sculptural pair of serving utensils designed by Emilia Castillo for the renowned Los Castillo workshop, handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico during the 1980s. This whimsical yet sophisticated set includes a serving spoon and fork, each masterfully formed in solid brass with a rich silver-plated finish and inlaid with striking malachite panels along the handles. The terminals are crowned with charming stylized bird finials—an iconic motif associated with Los Castillo’s imaginative approach to functional design. Both pieces are fully hallmarked Los Castillo, Taxco, Plateado, Mexico, TA-01, confirming their authenticity and origin. The contrast between the polished silver surface, vibrant green malachite, and sculptural bird details creates a visually compelling statement piece ideal for display as much as for use. Perfect for interior designers, tabletop stylists, and collectors of Mexican modern silver, this set works beautifully in curated dining settings, open shelving, or as an accent within a refined decorative arts collection.
