Description

This was purchased in Babenhausen, Germany when my father was stationed there in 1955-1957. It displays exceptional prism colors when light hits it. Has very clear bell sound of fine lead crystal. The bowl is 3 footed with lid, there are 10 cups, 5 ladies and 5 men's, the ladle is a plastic composite. I remember my mother telling me she opted for the plastic ladle as she was afraid the crystal one would damage the bowl at some point. There are a few of the cups with small chipping on the lip. I don't find any on the bowl or lid. The particulars are as follows:

Size: Bowl, 8 1/2" High, 9 3/4" Diameter(widest point) Lid, 5 1/8" High, 7 3/4" Diameter, 1/2" Lip, Lid and Bowl 13 1/8" High. Woman's Cup, Bowl 2 3/8" High, 3 1/2" Diameter, Handle 1 1/8"H x 1"W. Man's Cup, Bowl 2 3/8" High, 3 1/2" Diameter, Handle 2 1/8"H x 1 1/8"W.

Weights: Bowl and Lid, 9 pounds 14.5 ounces. Woman's Cups vary from 7.3 ounces to 8.4 ounces, Man's Cup vary from 7.9 ounces to 9.2 ounces.

Ladle: Plastic composite, has yellowing to it. Tip of handle has Vitri 621. 14 1/2" long, Bowl part 3" long x 2 3/4" wide.
