Description

Victorian Cranberry‑Cased Opalescent Ruffled Glass Bride’s Bowl

A 19th century Victorian cranberry‑cased opalescent bride’s bowl, dating to circa 1880–1900. Hand‑blown with masterful skill, it features radiant white opalescence with vertical striping that fades into a richly hued cranberry along a dramatically ruffled rim. The fine optic ribbing and polished pontil underside attest to its handcrafted origins. Bride’s bowls were treasured wedding gifts of the era, often displayed as the centerpiece of a newlywed’s home—symbols of beauty, prosperity, and refinement.

Whether showcased in a display cabinet or used as an eye‑catching centerpiece, it offers collectors a superb blend of artistry and history.
