Antique pair of French Charles X period ormolu tazzas. Of very high quality indeed the casting is exceptional and the gilding is entirely original. Set upon square bases the tazza sits on a circle of ormolu decoration. The side of the circle is set with a Greek Key pattern while the moulding is of beautiful leaf pattern. The cylindrical stem is decorated throughout with flowers within a hexagon design. The stem leads to a cap whose lower moulding has a design of vine leaves. The foot of the cup is waisted but has a swirling design at its lower edge. This all rises to the cup of the Tazza which have three beautiful bands of decoration, firstly a thin band of leaf and bud decoration, then to the centre a thicker band of flower heads and a final band of leaf and bud. Finally the upper rim of the tazza has a band of decoration which is of leaf and flower, quite beautifully done. France circa 1825. 7.5 inches high by 3.5 inches square at base and max diameter 4.75 inches ( 18.75 cm by 8.75 cm by 11.875 cm).
