Punch Bowl Styles

Pedestal

• One popular punch bowl style is the pedestal punch bowl. As the name suggests, a pedestal punch bowl has a base that raises the punch bowl body off the table or countertop. Pedestal punch bowls help keep the punch away from the table, utensils or other drinks.

Crystal

• Crystal punch bowls make popular gifts, especially for occasions such as weddings. Crystal is a common material used to make many kinds of dishware. Crystal punch bowls are often decorative with etched patterns. They can make beautiful centerpieces.

Silver

• Many older punch bowl models are silver, a material known for its elegance and durability. Like crystal, silver punch bowls are often given as wedding gifts and passed down through family generations. Though silver does require a bit of maintenance (it must be polished), it can make a lovely, decorative statement in any home.

Glass

• Glass is a sleek material used to make a variety of different types of dishes. Glass punch bowls often have a modern look and are generally not as ornately decorated as crystal and silver punch bowls. Glass punch bowls can be used as more casual centerpieces or dressed up with other decorations such as flowers to make a more eye-catching piece.
