Punch bowls remind me of happy times. The gorgeous etched vessels are a symbol of celebration. They have a grown-up and mature feel, and reveal that one understands life and the art of entertaining. When I feel like having “church” or gathering friends, I pull out the bowl. My first bowl was a Bodum College Bowl Set. Famed food writer and historian Jessica B. Harris gifted me her mother’s mid-century centerpiece—I cherish it.
