<p>[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 206111, member: 70"]Yes, its a tiny gather of red glass over which is gathered crystal. It's blown to shape, there is a very thin layer of red glass inside, chips show the crystal exterior. If it were solid red glass it would appear black. This is how gold ruby glass has been made for at least two centuries. The name "Cranberry" was introduced by folks who thought it sounded more appealing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
