Not really "cranberry," this is soda lime crystal with ruby stain, very popular here in the colonies from about 1895 to 1920. The pattern, originally called Crescent, was made by two member plants in the National Glass Co, namely, the Royal Glass Works of Marietta, Ohio, and McKee and Brothers Glass Works of Jeannette, Pennsylvania. My research suggests that most came from McKee, as the Royal plant burned down in Nov. 1903.
