About the Item

This elegant water jug is crafted from vibrant cranberry glass, a distinctive material achieved by adding gold salts to molten glass. Dating from around 1900, the jug features a graceful, flared body with a wide base and a narrow neck, topped with a delicately scalloped rim. The clear applied glass handle contrasts beautifully with the rich cranberry hue of the jug, enhancing its decorative appeal. Pieces like this were popular in the Victorian era, valued both for their practicality and their aesthetic charm. Today, it stands as a fine example of Victorian art glass, admired for its craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Material & Colour: The jug is crafted from cranberry glass, a richly coloured glass made by adding gold salts during production. The body has a vibrant, deep pink to red hue, typical of fine Victorian cranberry glassware. Shape: It has an elegant, gently flared form, widening slightly towards the base and narrowing at the neck. The rim is scalloped, giving it a decorative, wavy edge. Handle: The handle is clear glass, applied separately, providing a striking contrast to the cranberry body. It has a smooth, curved shape for easy grip. Design Style: The overall look is graceful and functional, yet decorative, embodying late Victorian glass design aesthetics that combined utility with beauty. This type of jug would have been used for serving water or other beverages at the table and is now often collected as an example of Victorian art glass.
