Titus tazza (replica)
Not on view
This tazza attests to the enduring interest in the Silver Caesars in the centuries after they were made. The dish is a copy of the Titus dish, created through the process of electroforming, a nineteenth-century technology that produced precise replicas. The figure, modeled after the Julius Caesar statuette, is probably a replacement for a lost original. The foot is one of the six introduced into the set in the late nineteenth century.
