A richly coloured Victorian cranberry glass finger bowl featuring an applied clear glass rim with repeated shell-like crimps. These were commonly used at the table in the late 19th century for finger rinsing, but today they work beautifully as salt cellars, trinket bowls, or small display pieces.
The cranberry colour is deep and even, with excellent clarity. The applied clear rim adds sculptural interest and catches the light beautifully — a classic Victorian table glass form.
