About Milk Glass
Milk glass has been produced for centuries, reaching the height of its popularity from the late nineteenth century through to the mid twentieth century. Inspired by earlier French decorative glass, it became a staple of homes throughout Europe and America, valued for its elegant appearance, durability and versatility.
Today, authentic vintage milk glass is appreciated for its timeless aesthetic, subtle variations and the character that only decades of careful use can create.

This is an original vintage piece and is sold individually.
Each platter is in excellent vintage condition with only light signs of age consistent with careful use. Minor surface marks, subtle variations in tone and occasional tiny manufacturing specks may be present. These small inclusions occurred during the original production process and form part of the character of authentic vintage milk glass rather than being considered defects.
Every piece is individually inspected prior to shipping.
