Description: Circa 1890, American pressed glass Punch Bowl, with 6 cups. The pedestal is 1 piece, the bowl another, and the cups, of coarse were in sets. The best part of these "old" antiques are modern day uses. Try a salad in the bowl, with the dressing in the base when it's upside down! Try a dessert in the bowl, like fresh fruit, with whipped cream in the upside down base! The cups are just the right size for custards or mousse, and the set becomes more of an everyday usage, versus only special occasions. Pressed glass (or pattern glass) is a form of glass made by pressing molten glass into a mold using a plunger. It was first patented by American inventor John P. Bakewell in 1825 to make knobs for furniture. The technique was developed in the United States from the 1820s and in Europe, particularly France, Bohemia, and Sweden from the 1830s. By the mid-19th century, most inexpensive mass-produced glassware was pressed (18501910). Notes: very good condition has bubbles in glass showing how old it is.
