How do you identify cranberry glass?

To 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.

What era is cranberry glass from?

Cranberry 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.

How do I know if cranberry glass is real?

Questions About Murano Cranberry Glass

How do you identify cranberry glass?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
To 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.
What era is cranberry glass from?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
