FAQs

Cranberry glass is a red-tinted glass crafted by adding gold chloride to molten glass, creating a rich ruby-red colour popularized during the nineteenth century.

Craftsmen layered a casing of coloured glass over clear crystal stemware before hand-cutting geometric or floral patterns through the coloured layer to reveal the clear glass beneath.

Authentic period stemware often features hand-cut facets, slight variations consistent with hand-blown production, polished pontil marks on the base, and a deep, translucent hue.

Display stemware on a dining room sideboard, open shelving, or a glass bar cart where ambient light can pass through the coloured glass, creating subtle reflections.

Hand wash stemware individually in lukewarm water using a mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding dishwashers and rapid temperature changes that risk thermal shock.
