Antique Red Glass Cup And Saucer

Antique glassware is popular with many collectors. One reason is that there are many different styles, patterns and colors. One rare and beautiful color is red glass. If you want to own a piece of this gorgeous glass, an antique red glass cup and saucer would be a great addition to your collection. A cup and saucer together is worth a lot more than either piece on its own as it is a set. You may hear red glass referred to as cranberry or ruby glass. It dates back a long way which means collectors have a variety of eras and decades to choose from when shopping for red glass.

Although cranberry glass dates back much further than Victorian days, it is the Victorian era that is most commonly associated with cranberry glass. It was during this time period that glassmaking companies mastered the art of making this beautiful shade of glass. It takes lots of skill and effort to produce even a single piece of cranberry glass. If you are looking for Victorian glass you will find all kinds of pieces such as vases, cups, plates, lamps and more. Fenton is a well known name who still makes cranberry glass to this day.

Ruby glass is darker and richer than cranberry glass. It is still translucent but much more vibrant. Anchor Hocking makes a variety of gorgeous ruby glass pieces including cups and saucers that date back between the 1940s and the 1960s. You may also want to consider Depression glass. Depression glass is named for the time period in which it was created and includes glass made between the 1920s and the 1940s. This glass was inexpensive and available in a wide variety of beautiful colors and patterns.

The best thing to do when searching for an antique red glass cup and saucer is shop online. It's unlikely that you will be lucky enough to find the exact items at your local antique shop. However by shopping online you open yourself up to a world of selection. Just make sure that the items you consider are real antiques and not clever reproductions. If you shop on Ebay, check the feedback of the seller to make sure it is favorable. Once you acquire your first piece of red glass you may get hooked and decide to expand your collection to include more pieces of this stunning shade of glass.
