Gold Ruby Glass
Gold ruby glass, also known as cranberry glass, is a craft production that started in the seventeenth century. It is red glass, of course, made by throwing gold chloride into regular glass, thus turning it a deep ruby red hence the name. Because of it's delicate make up and chemical concoction, it is not mass produced like other products of his kind, gold ruby glass is usually hand crafted by professionals. This beautiful product is still made, and is usually produced for table bowls and confectionery holders. The origin stories are numerous, with several legends of falseness alive and well still. In that respect, glass companies have even taken artist techniques and used them with the cranberry glass making process to make beautiful pieces.
The origin of cranberry glass is fairly sketchy. A legend portrays a rich noble throwing a gold piece into a vat of molten glass free 3d models. This has been discounted, because it is not pure gold that goes into making ruby glass. Others claim that the process originated in the times of Caesar and the Roman Empire and then became lost for centuries until rediscovered in the 1600's. There are tons of things that gold ruby glass has been made into - tumbler sets and plates, display vases and confectionery bowls. Again, this kind of glass is not produced on a mass scale because of it's expense, as well as it's difficult and fiddly chemical make up. Many more pieces were made during this time, and many pieces have been inspired since.
Mary Gregory is a Victorian Era artist that specialized in painting pictures of children of the era. What does this have to do with gold ruby glass, one might ask. Many Mary Gregory paintings were printed on cranberry glass by the Westmoreland Glass Company and marketed as Mary Gregory pieces to sell more glass free 3d models. The glass pieces were hand blown and then the Gregory paintings were set in enamel mixed with other ground glass and fired into the gold ruby glass to solidify the enamel and bind it to the glass piece. Even though Mary Gregory has little to do with cranberry glass, thanks to the Westmoreland Glass Company, the glass is still often called Gregory glass as well. Johannes Kunckel is also a serious name in gold ruby glass, although this German maker is famous for producing beakers and bowls with lids.
Gold ruby glass is a timeless classic for display in a home, despite its sketchy origin and bastardized name attachments. The rich colors and beautiful designs are worthy of the gold that it takes to produce these lovely products, and the price shows us that good quality never goes amiss. You can even still find Gregory prints being made, although not so much by the Westmoreland Glass Company anymore. You can still enjoy these products today, and they aren't that hard to find free 3d models.
