Cranberry Glass is a richly coloured decorative glass distinguished by its deep pink to ruby-red hue, produced by adding small quantities of gold chloride during manufacture. First developed during the seventeenth century and becoming especially popular during the Victorian era, cranberry glass was used to create vases, bowls, lamps, drinking glasses and decorative ornaments. Its vibrant colour and delicate craftsmanship continue to make antique cranberry glass highly collectable. *Related Terms*\ Art Glass, Glass, Opaline Glass, Ruby Glass, Victorian Glass, Vaseline Glass.
