I purchased it about a year ago from a dealer in the UK who thought it was made in Bohemia around the turn of the 19th century. Standing just a mere 1-1\/2&#8243; tall, it is one of the smallest examples in my collection. It would have been a part of a larger set, including a punch bowl, ladle and up to 12 matching cups. After this cup broke, a tinker very carefully bore eight minute holes through the sides of the glass, using a drill bit covered in diamond dust, and attached four 1\/4&#8243; long metal staples. These are some of the smallest staples I have ever seen. It must have taken nimble hands and years of experience to repair this tiny gem.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56781.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7796\" alt=\"IMG_5678\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56781.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56781.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56781-300x277.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56701.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7795\" alt=\"IMG_5670\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56701.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56701.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56701-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56701-298x300.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56721.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7797\" alt=\"IMG_5672\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56721.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56721.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56721-300x289.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56761.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7793\" alt=\"IMG_5676\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56761.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56761.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_56761-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This elaborate cranberry glass punch set with gilt decoration, made by Moser, would originally have had a dozen matching cups and an undertray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14295752_1_l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7798\" alt=\"14295752_1_l\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14295752_1_l.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14295752_1_l.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14295752_1_l-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveauctioneers.com\">Live Auctioneers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This diminutive hand-blown ribbed cranberry glass punch cup has an applied clear glass handle and polished bottom.
