Victorian Cranberry Glass Tall Vase c.1890

A striking Victorian cranberry glass tall vase, dating to the late 19th century (c.1880–1900).
Hand-blown in deep gold-ruby cranberry glass, this example features a dramatic multi-knopped (ringed) column stem, flared trumpet form and an expressive ruffled rim with darker edged folds.

The colour is strong and even throughout, graduating beautifully from the deeper body to the lighter upper bowl. The tall proportions give this piece real presence — it reads as decorative glass rather than simple tableware.

An excellent statement piece for Victorian, eclectic or contemporary interiors.
