Used in England primarily as a way of serving food, the silver Tazza was actually first seen in Italy during the 16th century, intended to be used as a drinking vessel. During the latter part of the 17th Century, English silversmiths created flatter ‘salvers on a stand’, and it was these useful serving pieces that would have graced the tables of wealthy households, elevating the food and providing more space during meals.
