AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Are you looking for a unique, historic showpiece for your dining table, sideboard, or china cabinet? This monumental, antique silver-plated tazza (centrepiece) combines breathtaking craftsmanship with the pure romance of the Victorian era.
Crafted in the late 19th or early 20th century by the renowned American silversmithing firm E.G. Webster & Son of Brooklyn, New York, this substantial, high-quality piece exudes pure class in every detail.
The Design: An Ode to Abundance
The central focal point is a beautifully detailed, seated putto (cherub) with arms raised, supporting an impressive, openwork basket. The basket itself is a masterpiece: richly adorned with finely wrought, deep-relief grapevine motifs, leaves, and gracefully hanging clusters of grapes. It is the perfect piece for serving fresh fruit or grapes—or simply for display as a standalone work of art in a classic or eclectic interior.
Sublime, Solid Quality
Weighing an impressive 2.63 kilograms, the piece immediately conveys its superior quality. Far from being a lightweight, flimsy object, it is exceptionally solid and substantial, featuring a beautiful, time-worn patina that reflects its rich history. Specifications:
• Maker’s mark: Authentically marked on the underside (an ‘M’ within a spiderweb/star, attributed to E.G. Webster)
• Height: 25 cm
• Total width (including decoration): 25 cm
• Inner diameter of the bowl: 18.2 cm (an ideal size)
• Diameter of the base: 11.5 cm
• Weight: 2630 grams!
Condition:
This showpiece is in a beautiful, authentic antique condition, possessing a wonderful character. Over the years, the silverwork has developed a warm patina, with light traces of polishing on the raised areas—which only serves to enhance the depth and detail of the ornamentation. As is not uncommon with items over 100 years old, one decorative leaf along the rim has been lost, and another has been reattached (please refer to the detailed photographs). Structurally, the bowl is 100% solid and stable.
A remarkably heavy and highly decorative masterpiece that instantly adds atmosphere and grandeur to any space!
