My grandmother was very much into collecting Imperial Glass pieces - when she died, my sister and I were left with a substantial collection. One of the most striking pieces is this punchbowl. It's really beautiful and reminds me of her house.

This pattern was originally made by McKee in the early-mid 'teens as part of their "Tec" series and called Rotec. L.E. Smith reproduced the punch set (I remember seeing them advertised in Smith catalogs in the 80s) consisting of large plate, cupped bowl, and cups. They called it "Daisy and Button." Imperial Glass Co. never made this pattern.
L E Smith Glass Co still cariies this set as "Daisy & Button". Very pretty punch bowl; sis has one that my mom had.
