About the Item

A Fabulous and Large 19th Century Russian Ormolu-Mounted Hand-Carved Pink Rhodonite Tazza/Centerpiece. This tazza is a masterpiece of opulence that embodies the zenith of Russian art. This elegant tazza harmoniously marries meticulous craftsmanship, rare materials, and regal design, offering a splendid glimpse into the artistic legacy of Imperial Russia. The oval bombé body with gadrooned base flanked by leafy scrolled vines set on a conforming stepped base. The tazza showcases the resplendent beauty of pink rhodonite, a semi-precious stone renowned for its captivating shades of pink and exquisite marbling. Hand-carved with precision, its smooth, lustrous surface, gently curving contours, and symmetrical form are a testament to the skill and artistry of the master lapidaries. Rich ormolu mounts, gilded in lavish gold, crown the tazza. These mounts, intricately detailed with classical motifs, including acanthus leaves, scrolls, and rosettes, elegantly complement the delicate hues of the rhodonite. This pairing of the softly colored stone against the opulent ormolu imparts a harmonious sense of luxury and refinement. The tazza's wide, exquisite bowl is supported by a delicate stem and circular base, striking a perfect balance in its proportions. Russia, Circa: 1860
