How Much is a Cranberry Glass Jug?
Finding the Right Dining-entertaining for You
Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?
Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.
Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.
“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”
Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.
At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cranberry glass is from the Victorian era in England. The dates for the era range from 1837 to 1901. During the period, artisans produced the colored glassware by adding gold chloride to molten glass. Shop a range of cranberry glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify cranberry glass, first examine it under natural light. Most pieces will be a lighter pink color at the top and a darker burgundy hue at the bottom. Next, flip the item over and look for a raised area in the middle. Called a pontil mark, this feature indicates that a piece was mouth-blown, which all cranberry glass was. Hallmarks may also provide clues. Pilgrim was a major manufacturer of cranberry glass and marked some pieces with a capital “P” logo. Another maker, Fenton, used both its name and a script “F” initial as markings. If you're still uncertain whether your piece is cranberry glass, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you their expert opinion. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of cranberry glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023If you’re trying to determine the value of cranberry glass, experts suggest you work with a certified appraiser. While certain trusted online venues and search engines can be helpful when conducting research on a specific collectible about which you may have questions, the prices or suggested value that you find as a result of conducting independent research may differ considerably from the information that you procure from a qualified professional, such as an antique dealer or an appraiser at an auction house, for example. On 1stDibs, shop a range of cranberry glassware from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To know if cranberry glass is real, you can largely rely on the color. Authentic cranberry glass usually shows off variations in color with lighter pink near the top of a vase or edge of a bowl and darker burgundy at the bottom or in the middle. Also, turn the piece over and look for the pontil, an indentation formed during the mouth-blowing process. Shop a collection of expertly vetted cranberry glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, cranberry glass is made with gold. To produce the glassware, artisans mixed gold salts or colloidal gold with the molten glass. Some pieces also contain trace amounts of tin. On 1stDibs, you can find a range of cranberry glass.
