Highlights
This antique 19th Century Neoclassical tazza/low compote has a wide shallow bowl featuring a circular bronze plaque in relief at the center. The plaque is titled "VIRGILIVS APVD MECENATEM, TVA MECENAS HAVD MOLLIA JVSSA" translated as "Virgil at the house of Maecenas, delivering orders". The central image depicts the poet Virgil standing at the left as he speaks to Gaius Maecenas and another man seated at a table. The scene includes a tall flaming torch with smoke trailing off to the left along with a horizontal freize running along the upper part of the wall behind the group. There is also a vase on the floor just behind Maecenas. The shallow bowl is flanked by ornate cast handles with large palmette motifs and scrolling elements along with fluted bars having pinecone finials at either end. The base is finished with 4 feet interspersed with rounded decorative pendants.
The tazza/low compote is in good original condition with no cracks or repairs and has not been cleaned or restored. As an antique, the piece shows signs of age consisting of general wear and areas of finish loss to the surface of the bowl that are mentioned for accuracy and serve to add to its timeworn vibe. The bowl itself is 10" across and the piece is 13.5" across as measured from the outside edges of the handles. It stands 3.5" tall as measured to the top of the handles. The piece carries the letters "H.P" beneath one of the handles but is otherwise unmarked. The tazza weighs in at 4lbs 12.5oz.
This antique tazza/low compote has an authentic aged Old World appearance and meshes well with many types of decor. A lovely antique find!
Please note that due to the value of this listing, the piece will be fully insured and shipped with a signature required on delivery.
