I have some glass red stars that are like that, the color is chipping off. What you have, and what I have, is not true red glass all the way through, it's painted glass. I'm not sure where I got them but it might have been the Dollar Store. Walmart does have glass marbles, etc. that are the red glass all the way through.

Red glass is hard, but not impossible to find. You do need to watch out for "flash glass". Check the rims and bottoms of colored glass pieces carefully for a faded or mottled appearance. That is usually "Flash glass" that has the color painted or coated onto clear glass and doesn't hold up well outside (or in the dish washer). Every once in awhile I run across a really nice piece of real red glass, but it's not as easy to find as cobalt, green or amber. Good Luck!!

I think Ty Nant water comes in a true red glass bottle. They also have blue bottles. It can be hard to find, though ... the only place I've seen it (in Knoxville, anyway) is at World Market.

Thanks Susan for the tip on the red glass because I have been wondering the same thing!
