An Excellent Victorian Solid Silver Fruit Tazza/Bowl - Charles Westwood & Sons 1897

Description and Details 

We are delighted to offer this ornate solid silver fruit tazza/bowl made by silversmith Charles Westwood & Sons in Birmingham, 1897.

The tazza being made in the late Victorian period, the tazza features an array of ornate and intricate die-stamped and chased motifs.

The top section features four pierced section that contrasts the surrounding embellishments of floral and fruit motifs. 

A flared overall design with its relatively accommodating size allows for this tazza to be used for multiple purposes such as for serving cakes, berries of as a luxurious manner of holding fruits on your dining table.

The bowl/dish rests on a widened base and circular neck which provides a stable and steady foundation, allowing for a substantial amount of fruits to be placed on top.

The raised and pierced tazza allows for the light to pass through and the colours of the fruits/contents to be seen from a side profile - this is particularly noticeable should you place the tazza with a dark background, wonderfully contrasting the bright fruitful colours to the monochromatic tone of silver.

Full set of English hallmarks are marked on the side of the tazza. 

A lovely piece of Victorian silverware with a highly ornate and embellished design - ideal for placing it in the centre of your table, or for display within your interior decorations.
