It is equally perplexing to find the origins of the object we know as a “tazza” as to understand why Chinese silversmiths during the Chinese Export Silver period [1785-1940] both excelled at and took such obvious delight in making.

Chinese Export Silver was very much a product of the China Trade, but the period between 1757-1842 is now known as the Old China Trade.
