Measurements for this fabulous creation are: Punch bowl without pedestal diameter=13 inches, Height from top to bottom=6-1/2 inches. Pedestal diameter=7 inches, Height=3 inches. Hallmarks: Punch bowl stamped: "Nippon" which was used for export items from 1891-1921. Punch bowl stamped: "JPL" France.

Gold gilt is intact, but there are rubbed losses on handles and top edge, commensurate with age and use.
