Ashford black marble Derbyshire slate
Pietra dura top
19th Century
This elegant tazza, crafted in the 19th century, is made from Ashford black marble, a prized Derbyshire slate with a rich, dark finish. Its round, shallow dish is adorned with a colourful pietra dura inlay around the rim, featuring a mosaic of semi-precious stones like jasper and malachite in triangular and rectangular patterns. The tazza stands on a gracefully turned stem that rises from a solid square base, giving it stability and a refined silhouette. This piece combines both decorative artistry and functionality, showcasing the skilful craftsmanship and sophisticated design popular during the Victorian era.
