Label TextColoured glass is a popular collector's item, with various shades and styles. Cranberry glass or 'Gold Ruby' glass is a red or pink glass that is made by adding gold salts or colloidal gold to molten glass. The lighter the colour, the less gold compound was used. Unlike pressed glass, cranberry glass is not typically mass-produced due to the high cost of gold needed to make its distinct colour.
