Vintage and Antique Centerpieces and Tazzas
Tazza centerpieces may look like cake stands, but they have long been used for a variety of purposes, with the Tazza Farnese from Hellenistic Egypt possibly having ritualistic significance. The word “tazza” means “cup” in Italian and refers to a wide, shallow dish on a short stem attached to an elevated base.
While vintage and antique centerpieces and tazzas are a sophisticated touch in any dining room today, the tazza was particularly popular during the Renaissance to add elegance to the dining table. These dishes gracefully held flowers, fruits, hors d’oeuvres and other items.
Tazzas, or tazze, were often ornate and made from diverse materials, including ceramic, glass, metal (especially silver) and shells. They came in various sizes to fit a range of objects and food. Tazzas were included in luxury tableware through the 19th century.
Like all antique silverware, tazza centerpieces vary in style depending on their period and country of origin. Renaissance tazzas were elaborately decorated with floral designs and a shapely pedestal, while British tazza centerpieces from the Georgian era focused on purpose and were typically unadorned.
