We posted a picture to our Facebook page and asked users to guess what this item was. We heard a lot of different answers – from a bud vase to a fancy bee catcher. But no one guessed correctly! So here it is, a Punch Cup Filler. This crystal glass was made by Waterford and its sole purpose was to fill punch cups. This was invented so you had an accurate measurement each time someone filled a cup. Ladles are not always accurate, whereas this object allows you to see how much punch is inside the filler. You can stay very accurate using this method.
