Large Hand-Carved Carrara Marble Tazza — Italy, Late 18th / Early 19th Century

Details

A monumental Italian tazza hand-carved from luminous Carrara marble, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. Elegant in proportion and sculptural in presence, the vessel reflects the enduring classical tradition that defined Italian decorative arts during this period. The broad, shallow bowl rises gracefully above its supporting base, its contours shaped with refined restraint to emphasize balance, symmetry, and purity of form. The tazza is one piece. The marble’s natural veining and soft tonal variation animate the surface, while centuries of age have imparted a gentle patina that enhances its depth and character. Originally conceived as both ornamental centerpiece and architectural accent, this large tazza functions today as a commanding decorative object—equally suited to a console, garden setting, or grand interior—bringing timeless Italian craftsmanship and classical sophistication to its surroundings. Dimensions: 13.5”H x 28“Diameter Materials: Carrara marble Place of Origin: Italy Period: Late 18th/Early 19th century
