Large pierced silver tazza
Large pierced silver tazza
8138
Shallow, decorative sterling silver saucer-like dish on a raised foot with a crisply hand-pierced body featuring flying ducks and birds among rushes, reeds and foliage. The rim is decorated with an applied bead and straight gadroon pattern border.
This lovely tazza is beautiful decorative pieces in its own right, but it is perfect for presenting fruit or nuts too.
A tazza is a wide but shallow saucer-like dish either mounted on a stem and foot or on a foot alone. The word has been generally adopted by archaeologists and connoisseurs for this type of vessel, used either for drinking, serving small items of food, or just for display.
