What is a silver tazza?
1 Answer

A tazza is a popular kind of plate — it means “cup” in Italian. Antique silver tazzas were common in the Georgian era. They are essentially dishes positioned atop a stem with a wide base. A tazza could be used in a functional way and can save space on a dinner table given that it is an elevated surface but can also be used as a merely decorative piece in the living room, perhaps to hold collectible items for display.
