Here's a piece that our friends, appraiser and auction rep have not been able to give us a clue on. We can't find it on the web (so far). I've been told it might not be a Punch Bowl, that is has a more defined usage, which makes sense to me due to the depth of the cups and bowl, and there's a lid.
Brass & Crystal? Set Overall 16" tall
18" across - handle to handle
Center piece is 10 1/2" deep and 7 1/4 wide
Cups are 3 3/4" tall
The glass is thick and heavy. I believe it is crystal.
The only identifying mark is "Made in Germany" on one of the flat pieces that the brackets screw into that hold the arms to the base.
Thanks for any leads or ideas on what this was used for.
