Description
Cranberry glass or ‘Gold Ruby’ glass is a red glass made by adding gold salts or colloidal gold to molten glass.
Cranberry glass is made in craft production rather than in large quantities, due to the high cost of the gold.
The glass is used primarily in expensive decorations.
During the mid-1800s through the end of the 19th century, glassblowers refined the art of making cranberry glass to create everything from vases and pitchers to decanters with matching tumblers.
