A beautiful piece of early French Art Deco history, this antique miniature footed tazza is crisply stamped on the underside with its origin "FRANCE", a workshop maker's mark (circled "B"), and the exact year of production: 1920.
This rare, diminutive piece is a spectacular miniature artifact, likely designed as a luxury master salt cellar for an elegant dining table, or a tiny bedside ring keeper. The heavy, solid bronze or brass upper bowl is meticulously decorated with an embossed relief band featuring a continuous pattern of stylized floral blossoms and flowing foliage, framed by top and bottom rows of classic beaded detailing. The interior of the bowl shows a rich, warm spun metal finish. The decorated bowl is elevated on its original, dark-finished turned wood pedestal base, structurally anchored by its historical central nut assembly.
Dating precisely to the opening year of the 1920s, it features incredible, crisp detail for its small scale. It is a perfect addition for collectors of fine cabinet specimens, antique miniatures, or authentic Parisian-era tabletop accents.
