A genuine late-Victorian cranberry glass finger bowl with an applied clear glass crimped rim. Deep cranberry colour with excellent clarity, finished with a decorative shell-style collar typical of English table glass from the late 19th century.
Originally used at the table for finger rinsing; today it works beautifully as a salt cellar, trinket bowl, or small display piece.
