Cranberry glass, also known as ruby glass, is a type of decorative glassware coloured with gold chloride, highly popular during the Victorian era in Britain from the mid-19th century onwards.

This type of glass was traditionally hand-blown using a mix of silica and metallic gold additives to achieve the distinctive pinkish-red hue, often finished with applied clear glass handles.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit a distinct variation in colour saturation, pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, and slight irregularities indicative of 19th-century craftsmanship.

Displaying the piece on an open shelf, sideboard, or windowsill allows natural light to highlight the translucent properties and rich colouration within a contemporary setting.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges to protect the surface.
