mid-19th century

each with a circular bowl on a waisted spreading foot raised on a square base and a further rectangular base
one 22.5cm. high, 18.5cm. diameter; 8¾in., 7¼in.
the other 22cm. high, 18cm. diameter; 8⅝in., 7in.

Condition Report:
In overall reasonably good restored condition. The slightly larger tazza: Minor loss to malachite veneer at the top of the spreading foot. Otherwise with minor scuffs and scratches consistent with age and use. The smaller tazza: With severe losses to one side of the spreading foot. The whole bowl and foot are slightly loose from the rod in running in the middle of the tazza. This section would benefit from further professional attention. There are some signs of re-gluing between the bowl and top of foot. Otherwise with minor scuffs and scratches consistent with age and use.
