This was purchased in Babenhausen, Germany between 1955 and 1957. It displays exceptional prism colors when light hits it, like looking at a rainbow of colors. Has very clear bell ring sound of fine lead crystal. The bowl is 3 footed with lid, with a grape vine motif. There are 10 cups, 5 ladies and 5 men's, the ladle is a plastic composite. I remember my mother telling me she opted for the plastic ladle as she was afraid the crystal one would damage the bowl at some point or get broke. There are a few of the cups with small chipping on the lip. I don't find any on the bowl or lid, although with something so incredibly cut I would suspect that there must be additional little flea bits somewhere but as I see it nothing noticeable. I've looked thinking there should be a signature on this punch bowl somewhere because the maker should have been extremely proud for as beautiful as this is, but I find nothing. The pictures do no justice to this set, I tried my best to get the colors to show from the light shining on it but they didn't show them as well as my looking at it directly.
The particulars on size and weights are approximate as follows:
Size: Bowl, 8 1/2" High, 9 3/4" Diameter(widest point)
Lid, 5 1/8" High, 7 3/4" Diameter, 1/2" Lip,
Lid and Bowl 13 1/8" High.
Woman's Cup, Bowl 2 3/8" High, 3 1/2" Diameter, Handle 1 1/8"H x 1"W.
Man's Cup, Bowl 2 3/8" High, 3 1/2" Diameter, Handle 2 1/8"H x 1 1/8"W.
Weights: Bowl and Lid, 9 pounds 14.5 ounces. Cups vary in weight from 7.3 ounces to 9.2 ounces.
Capacity: Easily holds 160 ounces (5 quarts) with room for some ice.
Ladle: Plastic composite, has yellowing to it. Tip of handle has Vitri 621. 14 1/2" long, Bowl part 3" long x 2 3/4" wide.
Asking $500.00 cash.
