Antique Cranberry Glass Sugar Shaker with Pierced Metal Top and Ribbed Optic Body

This antique cranberry glass sugar shaker is a beautiful decorative piece, with a ribbed optic glass body and pierced metal top. Measuring 13 x 5.5 cm, it has a tall tapered form, rich cranberry colour and a small turned finial to the lid.

The pierced top features star shaped holes and has developed a warm aged patina, with areas of worn plating revealing warmer metal tones beneath. This gives the piece lovely character and a sense of age, pairing beautifully with the deep pink glass body below.

The ribbed optic glass catches the light beautifully, creating depth and reflection through the cranberry colour. Depending on where it is placed, the glass shifts from rich berry pink to a softer rose tone, making it especially attractive on a dresser, kitchen shelf, tea table or sunny windowsill.

Originally intended as a sugar shaker, this piece would make a charming addition to a vintage tea table or glassware collection. It could also be styled decoratively in a bathroom for bath salts or cotton wool, or displayed on open shelving alongside clear glass, silver toned trays, floral china, shells, pale ceramics and other cranberry glass.

The shaker is in good antique condition with light signs of age and use. There is a small chip to the base, which is not visible when the piece is displayed upright, along with age related wear to the metal top. A charming antique cranberry glass piece with colour, texture and wonderful decorative appeal.
