Impressive 19th-century white ironstone punch bowl reflects the exceptional utilitarian design and durability of the Victorian era. Manufactured by J.W. Pankhurst, the bowl features a classic footed pedestal form supporting a heavily fluted round basin crafted in pristine white ironstone. The piece measures approximately 6 in. H x 9 5/8 in. in diameter, displaying authentic age-defining natural discoloration, light surface spotting, and a minor historic manufacturing flaw to the base, all consistent with its history.
