Vintage Los Castillo Style Grasshopper Bowl Copper Brass Abalone Mexico

This is for a stunning vintage hand-crafted mixed metal bowl in the whimsical shape of a grasshopper. Crafted in Mexico during the mid-century period, approximately the 1950s through the 1970s, this unique decorative piece combines copper, brass, and abalone shell accents to create a striking work of functional art.

The grasshopper features large expressive eyes, decorative legs, and a beautifully formed body that serves as the bowl. The polished mixed metal finish is accented by shimmering abalone details that add color and visual interest while highlighting the craftsmanship of the piece.

The bowl measures approximately 6 inches tall, 17 inches long, and 5 inches deep, making it a substantial decorative accent for a coffee table, console, bookshelf, bar, or display cabinet.

While unmarked, the design and construction are reminiscent of pieces produced by Los Castillo and other notable Mexican metalwork artisans of the period. Its sculptural form and handcrafted details make it an eye-catching addition to collections of Mexican folk art, Mid-Century Modern décor, Hollywood Regency décor, or mixed metal decorative arts.

This vintage bowl is in wonderful condition and has been polished to highlight its beautiful mixed metal finish. It displays exceptionally well and is sure to become a conversation piece wherever it is displayed.
