Towle EMBASSY CLASSIC Silver Plated Punch Bowl w/ Underplate, 12 Cups & Ladle

Description

Estate Sale:
Beautiful silver plated punch bowl set in the Embassy Classic pattern from Towle Silversmiths Co.  This is a complete set and includes the punch bowl, underplate, twelve (12) punch cups and the matching ladle.  It is a very large set with gorgeous heavy floral scrolling around the rim of the punch bowl and matching underplate.  The handled punch cups have intricate detail on their handles.  There are no monograms on any of the pieces.
The 12 punch cups are in beautiful condition - clean inside and out with no scratches.  The undertray is in excellent condition with no dents or dings.  I noticed a few very faint markings in the center, more than likely from where the bowl sits - please zoom in on the picture of the tray top, they are very hard to notice. The ladle is in excellent condition with no bends or dents. The punch bowl itself has no dents or dings, the exterior is pristine.  The interior sides and floral embossed rim are beautiful with no flaws.  There are surface scratches on the bottom of the interior from past use.  I also noticed a few places of discoloration and I am wondering if a strong citrus punch may have caused this.  I am not sure if this will polish out. I have taken a close up photo of the bottom interior of the punch bowl in different lights (flash on, flash off, overhead lighting) - please examine the last three pictures.  A plastic punch bowl liner could be used for the bowl - these can be easily found at party supply stores and cost anywhere from to .
Please see every picture as they form part of this description.
Due to the issue with the bottom interior of the punch bowl, this set has been drastically reduced in price when compared to other similar sets.  This issue is quite minor given the punch bowl usually remains full as it is constantly refilled and the bottom surface scratches would never be noticeable anyways.
The punch bowl measures 17" in diameter and stands 8" tall.  It holds 8 quarts (32 cups). This is a large and very impressive punch bowl set.  A beautiful compliment to any table setting or buffet table.  Lots of beautiful sparkle and the ornate floral scrolling on the punch bowl and undertray is simply stunning.
The undertray measures 19" in diameter and holds the 12 punch cups easily with no crowding.
The ladle measures 13" in length.
Each punch cup stands 2 3/8" tall and measures 3 3/8" in diameter and holds a little over 6 ounces.
