Cranberry glass is a pinkish-red glass created by adding gold chloride to the molten glass mixture. It gained immense popularity during the Victorian era in the 19th century for decorative tableware and accessories.

These pieces combine blown or moulded coloured glass liners with pierced or cast silver plated metal frames, often featuring intricate scrollwork or floral motifs characteristic of late 19th-century manufacturing.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit small pontil marks, minor surface wear consistent with age, hand-finished detailing in the metalwork, and the specific rich hue achieved by traditional gold-infused glass recipes.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, used as small catch-alls on a dressing table, or integrated into a tablescape to introduce a vibrant splash of colour and historical texture to modern schemes.

Clean the glass liners gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh abrasives. For the silver plated frames, use a specialized non-abrasive silver polish sparingly to maintain the finish without damaging the plating.
