Vintage Grape Pattern Press Glass Punch Bowl Set with Nine Cups and Ladle

This is a vintage punch set consisting of eleven total pieces: a large punch bowl, nine coordinating handle-style cups, and a matching curved ladle. The set is crafted from transparent, colorless press glass. The primary decorative motif features embossed grape clusters and vine leaves, a classic Mid-Century and early 20th-century aesthetic. The bowl is designed with a deeply scalloped 'thumbprint' or 'petal' rim, which follows the contours of the floral pattern. The cups also feature this grapevine motif and include a small loop handle for serving. The glass shows a slight yellow or grey cast characteristic of high-volume mid-range glass manufacturing from companies like Anchor Hocking, Indiana Glass, or Smith Glass, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. Physically, the set appears to be in fair to good condition, showing no major cracks or chips visible from the primary photograph, though there is a perceptible lack of clarity that may indicate 'glass sickness' (etched minerals from hard water) or surface dust. The ladle is a separate glass component with a hooked handle designed to rest on the bowl's edge. The craftsmanship is utilitarian but ornamental, representing a standard piece of American household entertaining ware from the post-war era.
