Antique & Rare Pair of Hand Carved Italian Alabaster Tazza Table Display Pieces

About the Item

All handcrafted out of alabaster these stylish & decorative tazzas make great centrepieces. This rare pair of early 1900s tazzas comes with overhanging wine branches all around the circular tops. Finding this pair of Renaissance Revival tazzas more than made our day, because they will look great as dinner table centrepieces, but also on a side table with maybe some potpourri in them these too will make great decorative pieces. Many centuries ago tazzas were initially used as drinking vessels only, but later in time they were used for other purposes as well. This pair obviously is perfect for putting grapes on when entertaining guests with food and wine, but they also make great fruit bowls presented with a wide variety of colors. Have you also noticed the striking, entwined dolphins twirling down to the stem? They make this pair even more decorative and remarkable. As is almost always the case, these original and good condition tazzas have some minor losses (to the overhanging leafs only), but thanks to the richness of these decorations they are not very noticeable. If you appreciate this antique pair of natural mineral stone tazzas as much as we do then you will also love our price. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x diameter: 8.6 x 10 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
