Descripción
Glass of a deep red color that is produced by a colloidal gold solution prepared by dissolving gold in aqua regia, sometimes including some tin or silver salts. Gold ruby glass was made by the ancient Egyptians and Romans; the ancient technique was lost until rediscovered in 17th-century Germany. Gold was also thought to be anti-toxic and to protect from poison anyone who drank from it.
