FAQs

A tazza is a shallow, wide saucer-shaped bowl mounted on a pedestal, traditionally collected during the 18th and 19th centuries by European travellers embarking on the Grand Tour across Italy and Greece to study classical antiquity.

These decorative objects were predominantly hand-carved from natural stone such as Sienna marble, Nero Marquina, alabaster, or porphyry, showcasing detailed relief work like acanthus leaves and gadrooning.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically show hand-carved surface variations between paired items, natural veining or faint internal fissures in the stone, and subtle matting on the underside of the pedestal foot.

A pair of marble tazzas can be arranged symmetrically on a sideboard top, chimney piece, or display shelf to add height, surface texture, and classical architectural proportions to contemporary or period rooms.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid acidic or abrasive chemical cleaners that etch natural marble. Remove light grime using a damp cloth with pH-neutral soap, drying the stone immediately.
