About
A pair of late 19th-century Continental European tazzas or cake stands, each comprising a shallow clear glass dish mounted on an ornate silver-plated tripod base. The glass dishes are decorated with a repeating Greek-key border and scalloped rim, while the bases are cast with scrolling foliate and pierced ornament.
Hallmarks are visible on a base feet: "E&Co" in a shield shape along with the date number "C" that stands for 1888; and numbered "11588".
Elkington & Co. was one of the most important British manufacturers of silver and silver-plated wares in the nineteenth century. Elkington & Co. developed from the Birmingham metalworking business of George Richards Elkington (1801–1865), who inherited his father’s manufactory around 1824 and by 1839 was trading as G. R. Elkington & Co. The firm became closely associated with the development of commercial electroplating: Elkington obtained patents for gilding processes from 1836 and, with Henry Elkington, secured a major electroplating patent in 1840. In 1842, Josiah Mason joined the business, which subsequently traded as Elkington, Mason & Co. until the partnership ended in 1861, after which the firm operated as Elkington & Co. It produced electroplated, silver and electrotype wares in Birmingham and supplied domestic, ceremonial and exhibition pieces throughout the nineteenth century.
