This brass bowl reflects the broader range of Hector Aguilar's Taller Borda, the Taxco workshop that produced not only the silver jewelry for which Aguilar is best known but also hollowware and decorative objects in other metals. Working in brass let the shop offer larger functional pieces in the same confident, hand-worked idiom that defined its silver.
As a vessel, the bowl carries the substantial, form-led character that runs through Aguilar's output, the kind of solid, useful object the Taller Borda made across its years of production between 1939 and 1962.
