The punch bowl set was purchased by my aunt about 1960 at B. Altman's department store, I think in New York City. It has 11 cups left, I assume it must have originally had 12. It is Waterford Crystal.
I have an unusual unidentified item purchased at a car boot sale. It appears to have some arabic engraved into it with a stunning pattern. This item is of solid brass with steel/iron pin to allow opening and closing. It has a blade on one side and a flat section with groove and grip for blade to rest in on the other side. I have no idea what it is or what is was used for but would greatly appreciate anything at all info wise.
flat oval bottom tapers slightly going up with wide lip pour, squared designed long c handle top to 3/4th down, repeated repousse sceen of men at table and walking? Playing/dancing/drinking? trees, cabins. swirl designs top to bottom. On the handle, base and lip small floral of sort design.
