This sterling silver bonbon dish or tazza originates from the 1950s mid-century period and functions as an ornamental tableware item. Formed in solid sterling silver with a bright reflective finish, the piece exhibits a polished silver colour throughout its curved bowl and pedestal structure. Specific visual details include a scalloped edge along the upper rim, intricate pierced fretwork decoration encircling the sides, and a sturdy flared pedestal foot underneath. The object measures 6 cm tall with a diameter of 14.5 cm across the top. In a contemporary setting, the dish is positioned on a sideboard top to hold small sweets or function purely as a decorative accent within an English country house interior.

FAQs

A tazza or bonbon dish is an elevated, shallow footed bowl historically designed for serving small confections, sweetmeats, nuts, or fruit at formal dining tables.

Mid-century Sheffield silversmiths utilised sterling silver (925 purity), forming the pedestal and bowl using traditional spinning, casting, and hand or machine piercing techniques before applying British assay hallmarks.

Authentic pieces feature a set of stamped hallmarks including the lion passant for sterling silver, the crown mark for the Sheffield assay office, a date letter, and the makers mark.

A silver tazza functions as a decorative tabletop vessel on a sideboard, coffee table, or entry console, whether left empty to showcase the metalwork or used to hold small items.

Store silver in a low-humidity environment inside anti-tarnish cloth bags, and clean gently with a specialised silver polishing cloth or cream to remove tarnish while preserving delicate pierced work.
