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.

Condition

This is an original vintage piece and is sold individually.

Each plate 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.

If your examples include gold trim, slight wear to the gilding may be present, reflecting the age and authenticity of each piece.

Every piece is individually inspected prior to shipping.

Care

To preserve the finish and integrity of this vintage glassware, we recommend:

• Hand wash using warm water, a gentle detergent and a soft sponge.
• Avoid abrasive scourers or cleaning pads.
• Not suitable for dishwasher use.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes or extreme heat.
• Do not stack heavy objects on the plate.

With appropriate care, vintage milk glass can continue to be enjoyed for generations.
