I think your Good Lady has good taste, she certainly got the better of the two, the rim detail does it for me.

And thank you for teaching me a new word, I'd never heard of a Tazza before.

A tazza (Italian, "cup", plural tazze) is a shallow saucer-like dish either mounted on a stem and foot or on a foot alone. The word has been generally adopted by archaeologists and connoisseurs for this type of vessel, used either for drinking, serving small items of food, or just for display.

Woody, both are excellent, nice detail to the box, but the lower one has the better form & flow to the spindle.

Nice one's.             David

And then I turned over to the next article in this months Woodturning and there is an article about the Holtzapffel Collection and the big picture is of a 'Tazza.

Don't you just love coincidence?

Hi Woody

yes the bottom one I think is best.  But you have made a great job of them both.

Cheers Dave
