A finely crafted footed porcelain tazza by Royal Porzellan Manufaktur Bavaria (marked “R.P.M.”), dating to the mid-20th century, and distinguished by its rich gilded decoration and finely modeled form. The circular plateau features a symmetrical arrangement of stylized acanthus and foliate scrollwork in burnished gilt, alternating between white-ground reserves with red accents and fully gilded segments, forming a continuous wreath-like border around the wide rim. The delicate leaves, executed with sharp tooling and highlighted with stippled red veining, suggest a Neoclassical influence, while the recessed center remains unadorned, emphasizing the ornate band.

Raised on a flared foot similarly enameled with matching acanthus and palmette motifs, the form recalls 19th-century reticulated tazzas and dessert stands but is executed in a solid porcelain body with glossy glaze and gilt-lined edges. The underside bears the blue crown-over-script mark of R.P.M. Bavaria. This particular form—elevated, elegant, and symmetrical—was typically intended for presentation of fruit, pastries, or centerpiece arrangements, and it evokes the refined porcelain traditions of Meissen and Sèvres while offering a more modern interpretation suited to mid-century European luxury.
