A pair of Victorian cranberry glass jugs circa 1880.
Cranberry glass is a richly coloured red or pink glass made by adding gold salts or colloidal gold to molten glass. Valued for its deep, translucent hue, it has been crafted since the Roman era but gained popularity in Victorian England.
The colour results from a chemical reaction between gold and the glass during heating. Cranberry glass is typically hand-blown or moulded into decorative items such as vases, bowls, and goblets. Its luxurious appearance and delicate beauty make it highly collectible.
