Miniature tazza 1823 - 1833

This miniature tazza, or shallow bowl on a foot, was crafted by James Scott between 1823 and 1833. The small, delicate piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the period, showcasing the artistry of silverwork in the 19th century. The tazza's simple, elegant form and the detailed engraving on the surface showcase the skill and precision of the silversmith.
