I TRY TO BE EXTREMELY THOROUGH WHEN DESCRIBING MY ITEMS AS I DO NOT WANT YOU TO RECEIVE AN ITEM AND HAVE ANY SURPRISES. PLEASE NOTE: A PUNCH BOWL AND BASE MATCHED SET IN THIS PATTERN AND COLORATION IS VERY HARD-TO-FIND! THEY JUST DID NOT MAKE MANY OF THESE MATCHING PUNCH BOWL AND PUNCH BOWL BASE PIECES! IMAGINE THIS GORGEOUS SET ON THE SERVING TABLE AT YOUR AUTUMN CELEBRATION - A GREAT WAY TO CONTINUE THE BURGUNDY OR AUTUMN COLOR SCHEME EVEN IN YOUR PUNCH BOWL SET! This listing is for a KINGS CROWN 16 PUNCH BOWL, PUNCH BOWL BASE, AND 12 PUNCH CUPS which has the DARKER RUBY FLASHING (ON THE TOPS ONLY), AND WAS MADE BY THE TIFFIN GLASS COMPANY in the 1940's!

(These pieces DO NOT HAVE the lighter-colored cranberry flashing). The punch bowl measures 16 inches across by 7.5 inches in height. The base measures 6 1/2 inches tall, and adds more height to the bowl - you can use the bowl with or without the base. If you chose to use the punch bowl in a shorter style, you could also then use the punch bowl base perhaps as a centerpiece holding flowers!

What a neat way to match your punch bowl with the centerpiece! The punch bowl has one slight, thin scratch in the ruby-colored flashing which measures about 1 inch long (see photos #7-#10). Photo #7 shows how faint the thin scratch appears without a close-up photo - it is just to the right of the top of the measuring tape.

The bowl also has a few bubbles (very common in Depression-era glassware) and "straw marks" - the largest of which can be seen in photos #7-#11. At the top of the "rim" of the clear glass directly underneath the ruby flashing, there is a "straw mark" about 1.5 to 2.0 inches right of the thin scratch (seen in photos #7 and #11). This straw mark also resulted in an area of uneven pouring of the ruby-colored flashing in this area (seen to the right of the tape measure in photos #7-#11). This area is not nearly as noticeable in photos #8 - #10 which are not close-up photos (see further description below). Upon closer inspection, you realize it is an impressed line in the glass that was from manufacture.

It is easy to tell as they are not extremely deep; do not penetrate the glass; are located on only one side of the glass; are typically irregular in shape; and vary from piece to piece. The straw mark is in a seam of the glass, and is not real noticeable (see photos #10 to #12). It is located directly beneath the ruby flashing and is hidden in the shadow of the ruby color. Also in this area (about one inch to the LEFT of the thin scratch) is a small chip which measures a bit less than 3/16 of an inch in length (please see photos #9-#12). As the chip is in close proximity to the thin scratch, it would be very easy to camouflage this area by merely turning the bowl one quarter turn (one-fourth of the way around) to either side. One punch cup (please see photo #7) has lost a bit of its ruby-colored flashing but is still in excellent condition. The cup displays very nicely (please see photo #8 where it is displayed in the front-center spot).

I tried to take photos of the area where the small chip, thin scratch, and straw mark are located. A Photo #9 - A measurement of the thin scratch.

B Photo #10 - A photo with the camera close to, but looking DOWN UPON the punch bowl. C Photo #11 - Another photo with the camera a bit further away but still looking DOWN UPON the punch bowl; and. D Photo #12 - A photo with the camera yet a bit further away, and looking DIRECTLY AT (not down upon) the punch bowl. This fabulous Tiffin ruby-colored flashed (on the tops only) KINGS CROWN PUNCH BOWL SET is in great to excellent condition, and is 80+/- years old! A punch bowl and base are VERY HARD-TO-FIND in this pattern! They are just not out there. Should you have any question or like additional photos, please do not hesitate to contact me!
