Emilia Castillo Large Porcelain & Pure Silver Monstera Leaf Bowl, Taxco Mexico

This exceptional piece combines warm terra-cotta porcelain with richly detailed pure silver (plata pura) inlays, showcasing Castillo’s signature style where natural motifs meet refined artistry.
The bowl features bold Monstera leaf designs both inside and outside, complemented by delicate silver fireflies and dragonflies scattered across the surface. The contrast between the earthy porcelain ground and the shimmering silver accents creates a uniquely organic yet luxurious aesthetic, making it an ideal statement piece for both modern and traditional interiors.
