Tazza / Comport can anyone ID this please ?
« on: January 06, 2010, 02:32:13 PM »
This tazza is approx 9" diameter & 3.25"/8.5cm tall , I would say that it's pressed glass. It has RD 549518 in raised lettering on the top. I would like to know date & manufacturer if possible ?

It was designed in 1909 but it could have been made for many, many years
