Two Victorian Cranberry Glass Bowls, late C19th
Two cranberry glass bowls with wavy edge rims, a band of clear glass shells to the middle and clear glass ‘shell’ feet. Cranberry glass (the name obviously deriving from the colour) is a red glass made by adding gold salts or colloidal gold to molten glass. It was produced in relatively small quantities due to the cost of the raw materials. Known from Roman times the most famous period of production was in 19th century Britain during the Victorian Era and pieces in the colourings can be found in a wide variety of forms. Many of the makers must remain anonymous but there is one known for making pieces with ‘threading’ effects (bands of fine moulded lines), Stevens and Williams. Since they made bowls in a similar shape with this ‘threading’ effect (and also the ‘shell’ feet) they may be the manufacturers of these two bowls, but this must remain supposition. But whatever the provenance these two pieces, which remain in excellent condition, are excellent examples of a style once so popular.Size: | W 13.5 cm H 6 cm and W 8.5 cm H 4.5 cm |
