A cranberry uranium vase and a cranberry style green bowl?
heartofglass:
I've always thought that ruby & cranberry were pretty much interchangable terms.
I suppose this will start a terminology war, now!
We tend to call this colour ruby down here.
The lower quality of the vase as you describe it either places it as a crib item (small 'backyard' manufacturer) or cheap Bohemian copy of English glass.
Whatever, it's of the type generally referred to as Rubina Verde.

Frank:
Certainly not interchangeable. Ruby is a shade of deep red and Cranberry is a different deep red. However, European cranberry is the fruit of a shrub and the American cranberry the fruit of a tree from a completely different species. Ruby is the ideal colour of the gemstone but of course there is a lot of variation.
I would say Ruby is deeper than cranberry but I have not seen the US fruit.

Thank you, er, again, Marinka. :? :)
Oh, it's definetly not a cheap Bohemian copy (lies). :lol:
Sounds silly of me to ask but are the cheap Bohemian copies worth a lot less than the genuine English one's? And how old are the cheap Bohemian copies as mine doesn't look recent?
It's filled with muck. (Goes off to clean it in the dish washer, 90 degrees, oh yes). :lol:
