Small Carved Alabaster Tazza

A marvel of hand-carved detail, this alabaster tazza features an ornate rim of cascading foliage, each leaf rendered with delicacy. The pedestal base is equally sculptural, anchored by a faceted foot and adorned with classical motifs that lend a sense of movement and drama. Most likely intended for decorative use, the tazza evokes the romanticism of 19th-century Italian craftsmanship while remaining delightfully unusual in scale and form. An exceptional object for a mantel, vanity, or display cabinet.
