Cranberry Glass Tableware Set (Creamer, Sugar Bowl, and Footed Bowl)

This collection features a set of three antique or vintage cranberry glass pieces, likely from the late 19th to early 20th century, due to their distinct color and decorative style. The set comprises a creamer, a footed sugar bowl with a lid, and a decorative footed bowl. All items are made from a rich, translucent cranberry-colored glass, exhibiting varying degrees of color saturation that suggests hand-blown or pressed techniques. Each piece features applied clear glass 'gummies' or 'prunts' around the rims, resembling small, blob-like adornments, which is a characteristic decorative element. The footed bowl has a bulbous, pumpkin-like body with a scalloped rim, resting on three clear glass feet. The sugar bowl is also globular, with a fitted lid topped by a clear glass finial, and an ornate clear glass handle on each side, though only one is clearly visible. This sugar bowl also features the clear glass gummies around its rim. The creamer is more simply shaped, with a flared rim and a clear glass handle. The glass itself is smooth and reflective, indicating good preservation of the surface. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately visible from the provided images, though a thorough inspection would be required to confirm this. The craftsmanship appears artisanal, with slight irregularities in the applied 'gummies' and overall form, characteristic of handcrafted glass of the period. These pieces are likely meant for decorative display or serving in a formal setting.
