Abstract

A tazza in lapis lazuli with silver-gilt mounts and stem. The rim has a beaded motif, and the centrepiece is a rosette of flowers and leaves. The stem is cast and features a repeated motif of alternating rams and lions heads, with pendant sprays and swags, between rings, and an upright palmette motif on its base. The base has a cut-card rim. Recessed under the base is a plate with four ovoid cut-outs, each framed in a cartouche, four panels of fruit and a central rosette, all chased.
