This rare set of 1940's Vintage MCM Homer LaughlinTom and Jerry Punch Bowl set with five Mugs is in wonderful condition with only a few issues discovered. (See photos)
One mugs handle has a chip as well as a chip along the gold trim around the lip and the inside of the punch bowl has bluish stains inside of it, as well as three tiny chips, all of which are a bluish color, which may point to the raw color of the bowl being blue.
The bluish stains look like vintage fingers prints, perhaps caused from generations of people grabbing at chips or nuts from the bowl or caused by the former owner using an electric or hand mixer to create the drinks batter inside the bowl (See photos and recipe below)
The punch bowl is 9-1/2 inches wide and 4-1/4 inches tall, while the mugs are 3-inches wide and 3-1/4 inches tall and they come from a smoke free home.
Boiling water, to rinse
1 ounce dark rum
1 ounce cognac
1 tablespoon Tom & Jerry batter (recipe below)
Whole milk, hot, to top
Garnish: nutmeg, freshly grated
Garnish: ground cloves
Garnish: ground allspice
Rinse a small coffee mug (or white ceramic Tom & Jerry cup) with boiling water to warm it, then discard the water.
Add the rum, cognac and batter into the cup and top with hot milk.
Garnish with a mixture of 2 parts freshly grated nutmeg to 1 part each ground clove and ground allspice.
Separate 3 egg yolks and whites and set aside. In a nonreactive bowl, whip the egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the yolks with 1 cup of sugar, 1/2-ounce Jamaican dark rum and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. When the yolk mixture is completely combined, gently fold it into the egg white mixture. Keep refrigerated.
