- MEXICAN LOS CASTILLO SILVER, COPPER,
MEXICAN LOS CASTILLO SILVER, COPPER, BRASS BIRD TRAYSLatin America, Mexico, Taxco, ca. mid-20th century CE. A beautiful pair of hand wrought brass, copper, and silverplated trays in the form of birds, made by the esteemed Los Castillo workshops of Taxco.

The larger tray has a lapis and resin eye inlaid in the head, the beak is a copper tone, and the rest of the surface is brushed with golden or silver hues. The other bird has the opposite color scheme; copper toned body and golden beak, with a turquoise inlaid eye. The undersides of both are marked "LOS CASTILLO / TAXCO / HAND-WROUGHT/ HECHO EN MEXICO / 42." A charming example of creative Taxco metalwork by Los Castillo!
