Vintage Jar of Satin

This is a jar from my cranberry glass collection.

My cranberry glass collection has various patterns,

textures, and shapes with one thing in common,

the rich and lucious color of the depth of pink that to me

is the reason why I began collecting the glass in the first place.

Since this piece is not marked in any way,

I can only guess it was manufactured somewhere around 1880 to the turn of the century.

It has a satin finish and a ribbed pattern.

Because of the pontil mark in the above photograph, I can say it was made by hand.

This type of glass is also known as overlay.  I know this because the inside of the jar is white.

I am facinated by the perfect pattern resulting from someones glassforming skills and how they used layers of glass to achieve the various colors and patterns of each piece.
