A magnificent and very rare vintage 1980s handmade metales casados and mosaico azteca Aztec Chieftain design decorative tazza tray created by Antonio Castillo for Los Castillo in Taxco. A highly stylized Aztec Chieftain figure and the Aztec Dragon aka Quetzalcoatl, formed in metales casados (married metals) and surrounded by mosaico azteca (mosaic stone inlay), all set in a silver-plated tazza tray form. The metales casados figures have incised details, and the chieftain has inlaid stone in his feather headdress. I'm certain that this incredibly beautiful object was intended to be an artwork for proud display rather than a utilitarian item for everyday use, and it looks amazing standing up in a plate stand as shown in my photos! Designed and perhaps even made by Antonio Castillo in the last quarter of his life for his family workshop Los Castillo in Taxco. I've only seen one other of this design ever in my 40+ years in the business! This one is azurmalachite (blue-green-brown stone), the other one was all azurite (blue stone). Measures 15.5" diameter by 2.75" high at rim, and weighs 6 pounds. Marked at back as shown in my photos, design number "777", also "Plateado Hecho en Mexico Los Castillo Taxco TA-01".
