A FRENCH PARCEL-GILT AND OXIDISED SILVER TAZZA AND COVER, FREDERIC-JULES RUDOLPHI, PARIS, CIRCA 1845 the cover set with carbuncles between a chased border of scrolling leafage below a bagpipe playing putto finial, the dish bordered by rock crystal cabochons between cast and pierced scrolls and yawning bat masks, with acid etched borders to the underside, the gem-set knopped pedestal and base with further cast borders, the openwork feet of beetles and leafy twisting branches, apparently no maker's mark, boar's head standard mark 20cm high, 718gr (23oz) all in This tazze was probably designed by Adolphe-Victor Geoffroy-Dechaume (1816-1892), the prolific goldsmith and sculptor, who worked for Rudolphi, as well as for Froment-Meurice and others. For a Rudophi silver perfume bottle, with the same cast feet as the present tazza, see Victoria & Albert Museum No.919-1844. The V. & A. notes on the bottle: "This vase was purchased for £40 [in 1844] and is one of the Museum's earliest acquisitions. It demonstrates not only Britain's acknowledgement of the continuing high quality of workmanship and the inventiveness of design in the French decorative arts, but the perceived need for British goldsmiths and designers to improve their skills by studying the best French examples."
