Label TextT.G. Hawkes & Co. American (1880-1962) Punch bowl with gilt-silver stand, 1904 Blown lead glass, engraved, gilt-silver sterling stand Gift of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. 85.133 Brilliant-cut glass (sometimes called rich cut) was fashionable in America from around 1880 to 1920. During these years, the United States population increased by about 120 million people. Retailers and manufactuerers started to cater to a rising middle class market. Rich cut glassware was an achievable luxury item for the middle class and a popular choice as a wedding gift. This punch bowl was fitted with a gilt-silver stand by Gorham Manufacturing Company--a far more costly alternative than a matching glass pedestal foot.
