MINT Boxed 15pc Imperial Whirling Star Lead Crystal Punch Set UV Manganese
# MINT Flawless Antique 15pc Imperial Glass "Whirling Star" Lead Crystal Punch Set ## Complete in Original Factory Box - Rare Manganese Crystal Glow! Up for sale is a truly spectacular, pristine piece of early American glassmaking history. This complete 15-piece master punch bowl hosting set was manufactured by the legendary Imperial Glass Company (Ohio) in their iconic "Whirling Star" pattern, dating back to the early 1900s. ### &####128142; GENUINE HIGHER-DENSITY LEAD CRYSTAL This is not standard, cheap pressed Depression glass. This set is crafted from genuine, high-density antique lead crystal.
When gently tapped, the pieces produce a beautiful, clear, long-lasting bell ring that only true crystal can make. The lead content gives the geometric pinwheels and deep sawtooth edges an incredibly bright, diamond-like refraction in natural daylight.### &####127775; RARE ANTIQUE MANGANESE GLOW (UV REACTIVE) True to its authentic early production era, the molten batch was clarified using manganese to give the crystal its perfectly colorless clarity. Because of this, the set features a fascinating vintage hidden attribute: when hit directly with a UV blacklight flashlight, the thickest ridges of the crystal react with a beautiful, distinct soft yellowish-green highlight glow (see photos)! ### &####128230; TRUE MINT CONDITION IN ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX This heirloom-quality set is in flawless, true mint condition. There are absolutely zero chips, cracks, flea bites, or surface scratches on any of the sharp sawtooth edges, bowl rims, or cup handles.
It has been meticulously preserved and comes safely stored inside its rare, original factory box! Please review all high-resolution photos closely to appreciate the stunning craftsmanship, pristine edges, and unique blacklight reaction of this antique treasure.
