A tazza is an ornamental bowl, usually made of silver or porcelain, and often used as a decorative centerpiece. It is typically round in shape with a wide, shallow body and a footed base. The ornamental bowl is often decorated with intricate designs, such as engravings, enameling, or gilding. Tazzas are often used to serve food, such as fruits, nuts, or desserts, but can also be used as a decorative piece in the home.
