Antique Victorian Cranberry Pink Cased Ruffled Brides Bowl Insert (Mt. Washington Style)

This is a beautiful, high-quality antique Victorian art glass bowl, commonly used as an insert in a silver-plated Brides Basket holder. 

The beautiful cranberry pink coloration and cased glass construction of this bowl are in the desirable Victorian Art Glass Style, often broadly referred to by collectors as 'Peach Blow' due to its popular Victorian aesthetic.

• Era and Origin: Genuine Victorian period piece, circa 1880–1900s. The style is attributed to prominent American glass houses of the era, such as Mt. Washington Glass Company.

• Material and Construction: Features stunning Cranberry Pink colored glass that has been cased clear over white opaque (opal) glass interior. This two-layer construction (often referred to as three-layer cased) is a hallmark of high-end Victorian art glass.

• Key Features: The bowl has a dramatic, deeply Ruffled and Crimped rim and GLOWS.

• Authentication Detail: The base displays a Polished/Ground Pontil mark (scar), which confirms it is a hand-blown, factory-finished piece, signifying superior quality and authenticity.

• Dimensions: Measures approximately 8 inches in diameter and 2 3/4 inches high.

• Condition: Excellent antique condition for its age, with no chips or cracks. Minor wear consistent with over a century of age should be expected. The bottom of the bowl shows slight, natural wear consistent with being seated in a silver-plated Bride's Basket frame for decades, authenticating its original use as a high-quality Bride's Bowl insert.
