This Victorian English serving bottle dates from circa 1840 and belongs to the 19th Century period. The piece is fashioned from blown cranberry glass with a rich cranberry red colour and a glossy finish. Notable decorative details include a spiral-twisted neck, a ribbed and fluted lobed body, a flared collar, and a polished pontil on the underside of the base. The vessel stands 28.2 cm high, with a base diameter of 5 cm, and weighs 440 grams. In a contemporary home, this item suits placement on a sideboard top to serve as a decorative accent or functional serving bottle. The design fits well within an English Country House aesthetic, bringing period character to a dining room, living room, or display cabinet. The condition is very good, with visible light refraction through the translucent glass and clean moulded ribs descending from the tapering neck to the wide, lobed base.

FAQs

Cranberry glass is a distinctive red-tinted glassware produced by adding gold chloride to molten glass mixture. It gained widespread popularity in Britain during the Victorian era for table vessels, decanters, and ornamental objects.

Pieces were traditional hand-blown by glassblowers using specialized iron moulds or free-blowing techniques. Features such as spiralled necks and fluted bodies were created using hand tools before the vessel was detached from the pontil rod.

Authentic pieces frequently display a snapped or ground pontil mark on the underside base, slight variations in glass thickness, and subtle natural wear patterns on the resting surface consistent with age.

Position the bottle on a dining room sideboard, tray, or deep window sill where natural light can pass through the tinted glass. Grouping it alongside clear crystal or polished brass items creates visual balance.

Wash gently by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or dishwashers. Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storage and protect it from sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
