Unusually, this large elevated tazza has a perfectly plain un-cut foot, which may indicate it was designed to be placed in a shallow bowl or on another tazza, so that its plain foot would have been hidden by a further display of fruit or flowers.

About Us
The Bristol Blue Glass Museum holds over 350 items of glass, showing the development of the manufacture of glass from ca. 1500 B.C. to the present day. It contains pieces of Egyptian, Roman, Viking, Anglo Saxon and Medieval glass, but the main interest of the collection lies in the examples of manufacture from all the principal English glass-works of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
