Milk glass was produced around 300 years before it reached the height of its popularity, which began around 1870 and lasted through the early 20th century. When it came to milk glass, the French were the trendsetters, ushering it into its golden era and inspiring American glassmakers to follow suit. Today French milk glass is particularly valuable.

Emulating the French, well-to-do American families stocked up on milk glass dinnerware, serving dishes, and pitchers. The pieces, some bedecked with diamond-cut patterns, molded with latticework, or artfully painted, made a splash in turn-of-the-century America and remained popular until the days of the Great Depression. They came back into vogue during the 1960s thanks to the production of Hobnail milk glass.

*Anchor Hocking milk glass originated from the Hocking Glass Company, founded in 1905 by Isaac J. Collins in Lancaster, Ohio. The company merged with Anchor Cap and Closure Corporation in 1937 to become Anchor Hocking. Their iconic milk glass, particularly under the Fire-King brand launched in the 1940s, became popular for durable, affordable, and stylish household items.
