Vintage Cranberry Glass Jug in Ruby Pink

This cranberry glass jug brings an instant lift of colour to a room. The form is wonderfully rounded and generous, with a clear applied handle and a neatly flared pouring lip, giving it that classic, cheerful silhouette that works as well on open shelving as it does on a laid table. The colour sits in that rich ruby pink family that cranberry glass is loved for, glowing beautifully when light hits the curves of the body.

It measures 15 cm high and 12 cm across to the handle, making it a great size for everyday use as a small water jug, cordial jug, or a milk jug for brunch. It also styles beautifully as a flower vase, especially with tulips or garden stems, where the pink glass becomes part of the arrangement rather than just the vessel.

As you would expect with vintage glass, there are small inclusions within the glass from the making process. They are part of the character and catch the light in a lovely, subtle way. If you are building a collection of coloured glass, this is the sort of piece that plays nicely with clear glassware, silverplate, and crisp white linens, and it looks particularly striking against warm neutrals and dark wood.
