Vintage Pilgrim Cranberry Bedford 4” Vase circa 1968

Description

Vintage Pilgrim Cranberry Bedford 4” Vase.
In beautiful condition. Below is some history of Pilgrim Glass courtesy of the Collectors Weekly website.
By 1968, Pilgrim's plant manager, Karel Konrad, figured out how to reliably and predictably replicate the look of
cranberry glass
, which was a popular ware during the
Victorian Era
that had fallen out of favor due to its high cost and temperamental nature. Cranberry glass is produced by adding gold chloride (sometimes described as "gold salts") to a batch of molten glass. At their best, the resulting blown-glass objects have the color of
rubies
.
