ABP CUT GLASS 2-PC 12" PUNCH BOWL CUT IN UTAH PATTERN BY KRANTZ AND SMITH

Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS A CENTERPIECE OR PUNCH BOWL CUT IN "IOWA" PATTERN BY KRANTZ AND SMITH.  THE UNUSUAL LOWER PROFILE OF THE TOP PART MAKES THIS ITEM POSSIBLY HAVE A DUAL PURPOSE AS STATED ABOVE. THERE IS A PHOTO FROM THE COMPANY CATALOG SHOWING THE EXACT PATTERN BUT ON A MORE TRADITIONAL HIGHER TOP PART.  PIECE IS NOT SIGNED.
DIMENSIONS ARE 12" TOP DIAMETER AND 2-PART BOWL IS 9"H
------THE GOOD NEWS SUMMARY:  REALLY FINE AND UNUSUAL SHAPE AND A NICE SIZE FOR MANY DISPLAY FLAT AREAS.  GOOD HIGH SHINE GLASS AND FINE HOBSTAR DOMINANT CUTTING.  MAKER IS IDENTIFIED AND DOCUMENTED, AND A LESS KNOWN COMPANY.
------THE NOT SO GOOD NEWS:  ONE LARGE CHIP ON A BASE TOOTH, MAKING ONE TOOTH COMPLETELY GONE AND THREE SHALLOW SMALLER CHIPS ON THE TOP BASE COLLAR.  THE GLASS HAS A FINE CLARITY, BUT THE PIECES WERE LEFT TOO LONG IN THE ACID POLISH AND THE GLASS HAS A WATERLY LOOK (SEE PHOTO FOR EXAMPLE).
THE BOWL STILL DISPLAYS REALLY WELL.   THE BASE CHIP IS DIFFICULT TO FIND AND THE ACID LOOK IS ONLY NOTICED UPON CLOSER INSPECTION.  CURRENTLY IT SITS ON OUR DINING ROOM TABLE AS A CENTERPIECE AND IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE  GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
