How can I tell if it’s real ruby red glass?

How can I tell if it’s real ruby red glass?
To tell real ruby red glass, look at the cuts used throughout the design. Most ruby red glass has sharp, dramatic cuts. Because it is easy to confuse with pressed glass, consider having the object evaluated by an experienced and licensed appraiser. Shop a selection of expertly vetted ruby red glass on 1stDibs.
