Given to an uncle who was in the Berlin airlift by a German family who he befriended and gave blankets and other comfort items. Returned to U.S. in a duffel bag aboard a B-17 with only three working engines. Scenes on bowl and glasses depict children playing. The silver ladle has a thin round wooden handle with perhaps a bone tip and the initials C T (or possibly F) and 1875 engraved on it.
Use a neutral background, step back a little and re-take photos. The ladel looks like it is LUX.
German punch ladle, Hamburg ca.1840, made by Alexander Ferdinand Lux. (Scroll down almost to bottom.)

Put in the elegant glass category or bohemian glass category.
the punch set is likely Bohemian and this kind of decorated glass is most commonly known as Mary Gregory style; at least that a start for research...
I am an amateur on this topic. What is the method used to put the etching/engraving of the children, in white on the amber glass?
most Mary Gregory style glass is hand painted enamel.
What a beautiful set with a heart warming history.
