About Antique Milk Glass

Milk glass, or opaque glass with a milky color (often white but not always), became popular in the early 1900s, and was used to produce plates, tableware, figurines, and many other items. As with other glass varieties, there is a wide range of styles and quality of milk glass, some (but not all) of it highly collectible.
