Tell me more!
Hi there! I just love the graceful Art Nouveau design of this Punch Bowl with Lid and Ladle. Made in 1900 in Germany the silverplate and glass design showcases a curvilinear design motif that mirrors natural forms of branches. We don't get too many visitors asking about this great work, what drew your eye to it?
Bridal registry? Fan of Art Nouveau? Favorite color is green?
I was just drawn to its beauty! Thanks for the info.
