An iconic Los Castillo 'metales casados' (copper, brass, silver) and stone inlay 'eye' Mexican modernist Aztec Bird design three-part tray by Chato Castillo c. 1950s. Designed by Chato Castillo and produced by Los Castillo in a variety of sizes, and with different colors of stone inlay in the 'eye'. One of my favorite all-time designs by Chato! Entirely handmade so each is unique, just a little different from all the others. Not a rare design, I have 7 or 8 in my collection including one made by Antonio Castillo's granddaughter, Lily, and I see them for sale often online. Marked with the usual 1950s Los Castillo marks, and design number 42.
