How do you identify cranberry glass?

In most cases, cranberry glass is recognized by the color. There is no doubt the most distinguishing feature of any piece of cranberry glass is its color. By adding gold chloride to hot molten glass, glassmakers created different shades varying from pink to burgundy.

How can you tell how old a Fenton glass is?

Check for a small number in the oval that denotes the year. In the 1980s, Fenton added a number 8 to the logo to indicate the decade when the pieces were made. They used a 9 during the 90s and a 0 from 2000 to the present. These numbers may be small and hard to see.
