This mid-19th century silver plated and art glass tazza is an elegant and sculptural example of Victorian decorative tableware. The removable ruffled glass bowl, executed in softly blended pink and white tones, rests on an architectural silver plated base supported by three finely modeled sphinxes. The classical motif combined with the delicate art glass creates a striking contrast between strength and refinement, characteristic of elaborate centerpieces from this period.
The piece is in good antique condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. Maker’s marks are stamped on the underside, confirming its authenticity and silver plated manufacture. The tazza measures approximately 10.5 inches in height with a diameter of about 9 inches, making it a distinctive decorative object suitable for use as a centerpiece, compote, or display piece.
