This is a vintage Gerz German Stoneware castle-&-grapevine-patterned 9-piece Punchbowl/Tureen set, with a lid and 7 matching cups, and was made in West Germany in the 1950′s by Simon Peter Gerz (Gerzit) pottery. Its function has been purely decorative, so it has never actually been used.

Typical use: It can be used for serving mulled wine, soup, or punch. Punch Bowl is 12″ tall (14″ with lid) & 12 wide, with a 4 liter volume. Stein Cups are 4-1/2″ tall & 5″ wide (with handle), and a 2-1/2 wide opening. &####127802;Hali? A Aloha Collectibles. Ho? Omaka ke ala o ka pono me ke aloha a me ka malamala.
