Lusaka Crystal Cut Punch Bowl Set with Lid and Accessories

This is a comprehensive Lusaka crystal punch set featuring a large, globular punch bowl accompanied by a matching domed lid, several handled punch cups, and two small cruets or decanters. The set is crafted from high-quality, heavy-leaded crystal, exhibiting the characteristic brilliance and 'fire' associated with Lusaka glass. The central bowl and lid are heavily decorated with deep, hand-cut patterns including prominent pinwheels, cross-hatching, and starburst motifs that create a prismatic effect. The lid is topped with a smooth, rounded orb finial. The punch cups share the pinwheel design and feature small, circular handles. The two decanters positioned in the background suggest this is a multi-functional entertaining set. This set likely dates to the late 20th century. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks from this perspective, and the clarity of the crystal is high, indicating minimal internal clouding. The intricate craftsmanship and substantial weight of the pieces reflect high-quality European or Southern African glassmaking standards.
