An Italian Grand Tour Rosso Antico Marble Tazza Attributed Benedetto Boschetti

Located in Benington, Herts

A Huge Italian Grand Tour Rosso Antico Marble Tazza Attributed to Benedetto Boschetti Mid 19th Century Italy - Probably Rome Circa 1840-50 Provenance The private collection of Will Fisher, antique dealer and connoisseur and the founder of Jamb Ltd This beautiful marble tazza is carved almost entirely from Rooso Antico marble, the exception being the base section which is made from contrasting Grand Antico instead.
