Our descriptions are intended to give a general idea only.  The pictures on the right are meant to give you an idea of the color and iridescence on different backgrounds, but this gorgeous piece is VERY difficult to photograph.  You truly have to see one to believe how beautiful this color is on this piece.

The 2004 commemorative is a Ruby Stretch Cuspidor made for us by the Fenton Art Glass Company. Pressed Ruby (red) is a quixotic color to make, for it requires controlled re-heating to "strike" and maintain its vibrant red tones. Selenium and cadmium are used in the glass batch to produce the splendid ruby color. One of the signature characteristics of this fabulous shade is the fascinating variation in tone; occasionally deep ruby throughout, or perhaps shading more to crimson and even amberina. It's hard to find two pieces exactly the same.

If the stunning color wasn't enough, the stretch iridescence is the "charm". During the manufacturing process, these items were sprayed with a mixture of metallic salts before being reheated and brought to their final cuspidor shape by the finisher. The finishing process often creates a myriad of striations and a slightly rough texture in the iridescent surface, particularly at the edges of the piece.

And if the rich color and the stretch iridescence aren't enough, well, our 2004 commemorative is in a magnificent cuspidor shape. This was a particularly difficult piece to make, through its many stages of re-heating and shaping. The difficulties and challenges of the process have resulted in each item having its own characteristics of shape, which may include minor bumps or slightly less than perfect symmetry on the rim. Only 103 examples of this exceptional item have been produced.
