Antique, brilliant cut glass bowl - purchased in 1940s
This punch bowl was handed down to me from my Grandmother. I accidentally came across a similar, if not identical punch bowl on another antique website while I was searching for an antique mug, and was surprised to see it priced $1,500-$2,500. There are no names or inscriptions that I can see. It is quite sturdy and has no visible cracks or chips, though the ladle and cups are no longer with it.
Approximately 14-15 inches in diameter, 7 inches deep
Inherited
Yes

Hi Natalie,
Thank you for the link!
MS Rau Antiques is one of the premier antiques stores in the US; they participate in a lot of very high end antiques shows and they list their wares at very high RETAIL prices, which are quite a bit different/higher than the fair market values (based on auctions) that Mearto uses.
An insurance value on this bowl would be $1,200, closer to what they are asking for theirs (note the 'make an offer' button on their listing...they are usually willing to negotiate on a lower price.)
If you have additional questions, etc, please let me know; otherwise, this appraisal has been concluded.
Thank you again for using Mearto,
Delia
