Our latest find is something rather special—an Emilia Castillo Monstera Leaf bowl, made in Taxco, Mexico, with beautiful silver detailing throughout.
ABOUT THE BOWL
Made in Taxco, Mexico, the bowl combines a beautiful green finish with an oversized Monstera leaf rendered in .925 plata pura (sterling silver). Small silver dragonflies are scattered across the surface, adding another layer of detail that you may not notice until you get close.
The organic shape, the scale of the silver leaf and all those small hand-finished details make it as much a decorative piece as a functional bowl.
Our piece is available at Next 2 New. DM us for our price and additional details.
ABOUT EMILIA CASTILLO
Emilia Castillo is a Mexican designer associated with the celebrated silverworking tradition of Taxco, Mexico. Her work is particularly recognizable for combining silver with natural forms and materials—leaves, insects, animals and other elements inspired by nature.
It is that combination that makes this bowl so distinctive: a familiar Monstera leaf transformed into something sculptural and beautifully detailed.
