Add a touch of classical elegance to your space with this striking late 19th-century neoclassical bronze tazza. Dating to the Grand Tour era, circa 1860 to 1890, this shallow dish features a beautifully detailed relief medallion of a classical profile at its center, making it a perfect foundation for displaying your favorite curiosities, small natural specimens, or resting beautifully atop a stack of bound books in a curated vignette. It is elevated by an elegant pedestal stand detailed with ornate foliate motifs and a classic beaded rim along the base. Please note that while the original side handles are missing, the piece is structurally sound and in otherwise excellent antique condition. It boasts a rich, authentic character, evidenced by the considerable natural patina and beautiful green verdigris present on the underside and base components. Whether used as a sophisticated catchall or a standalone sculptural element, this historic tazza brings a timeless, worldly charm to any room.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.
SHIPPING As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.
PHOTOGRAPHY All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
