--PreviousHello, I am looking for a Mckee punch bowl in the Majestic pattern and hoping that you might be able to help me.
Let me go into a little more detail on the importance that I locate this punch bowl.....
A family tradition that has been going strong since 1905 was disrupted Tuesday afternoon when it fell out of my car and shattered into pieces...this punch bowl belonged to my husbands great great grandmother and for over 100 yrs every baby in the family has had their picture taken at 9 mos old sitting in this punch bowl ....I know that the original punch bowl was irreplaceable but I most find a replacement so that I can help sooth the news I am getting ready to deliver to the family...I am beside myself about this.
Any help on finding one would be great and would mean the world to me!
Attached is a picture of my son sitting in it!! FYI, I have the base and just need the bowl
Thank you so much,
