Tazza

Thomas Jenkins

1682–83 · Silver gilt · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

This tazza is finely chased with figures in a Chinese landscape. This type of ornament was briefly popular in the 1680s and may have been the work of a single workshop in London that decorated wares obtained from other goldsmiths.
