This Georgian tazza originates from 18th-century England during the period of King George II. The piece is formed from clear lead glass with a polished finish and displays a round tray featuring a raised gallery rim. A central baluster stem connects the top to a domed and folded foot, anchored by an annulated shoulder knop and a basal support knop. The surface shows professional restoration to a small section of the gallery rim in the form of a silicon fill, alongside clear reflections and subtle refraction patterns within the glass structure. It stands 7.5 cm high with a width and depth of 10.2 cm. Positioned on a sideboard top, this small footed dish serves as a practical display stand in an English country house setting. The clear glass construction allows it to integrate easily into existing tabletop arrangements, providing a stable platform for small decorative items or serving purposes in everyday interior displays.

FAQs

A tazza is a shallow, wide-rimmed dish mounted on a stemmed foot, designed to display sweetmeats, fruits, or jellies on formal dining tables during the Georgian era.

Georgian tazzas were hand-blown using heavy lead crystal, featuring hand-applied rim galleries, mouth-blown stems with distinctive baluster knops, and folded feet for stability.

Authentic pieces display characteristic pontil marks on the base, minor irregularities from hand-crafting, a slight grey or dark tint in the lead glass, and expected surface wear beneath the foot.

A glass tazza functions as a decorative display pedestal on a sideboard, a catch-all tray for jewellery on a dressing table, or an elevated centrepiece for small items.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using mild dish soap, avoid rapid temperature changes, and dry with a soft lint-free cloth without placing pressure on the stem.
