Details

Sterling silver figural tazza or footed comport, likely made in the 1870s and attributed to John R. Wendt (1826–1907). The design comprises a stepped circular base surmounted by a classical robed female figure supporting a domed bowl with two decorative handles. The piece presents a 19th-century neo-classical aesthetic.

Unmarked for a silversmith, the model is noted as one by John R. Wendt, who worked in the second half of the 19th century in New York and was known to mark infrequently, with pieces often carrying only retailer stamps such as Ball, Black & Co. This example is stamped ‘ENGLISH STERLING’ and ‘166’.
