Crystal and Quadraplate Silver Brides Bowl

This is an amazing Item!

It was made  by James W. Tufts a leading silversmith of his time.

The term Quadraplate refers to a dipping process in which the item is dipped in silver a total of four times

He was born February 11, 1835 in Charlesrown, Maine and Died February 3, 1902 in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

He was very prolific in making silver pieces as well as making silver parts to add to ceramic and glass items.

My research led me to a museum site in North Carolina and based on the mark on the bottom this item dates to 1875. His work is highly praised and collected.

It measures 11"high from base to top of handle and is 10" from side to side of handle. There is normal wear on the underside of the crystal bowls base but otherwise in pristine shape.

"Lariat" Punch Bowl Set

This Beautiful punch bowl set is made by the Heisey Glass Company and was made from the 1940's to 1957.

There are 22 cups as well as a glass ladle,underplate and then the bowl. The punch bowl holds 7 quarts of  liguid. The underplate measures 21" in diameter. I do not think the ladle is original but is a good alternate anyway. There are also 10 more cups than originally would have been sold with the set.

The entire set is in excellent condition and would make a wonderful gift for the one you love
