This rare set was purchased in Taxco, Mexico, at the artist's studio in the 1990's. One owner.
By famed Mexican artist Emilia Castillo, we have a creamer and sugar bowl of matte black smooth ceramic with hand-applied pure silver overlay. Each piece features toucan birds in profile with leaf decoration and a sprinkling of small flowers and dragonflies. The sugar bowl has a corresponding lid with a spoon cutout (spoon not included). Marked EMILIA CASTILLO; PLATA PURA; MEXICO M.R. on the bottoms of each piece.
Each measures 2 1/2 inches tall and 3 3/4 inches wide.
These have never been used for dining, only displayed as art pieces. The silver shows patina due to age. I have polished them a bit by hand, but if you wish to buff them completely I'll leave that up to you. No chips, scratches, or silver loss. My home is smoke free.
