Today I had play with my sweeties box of kitch, unusual, opaque milk seaglass! π
Milk glass is an opaque translucent milk white or coloured glass that can be blown or pressed into a wide variety of shapes. Victorians loved milk glass for tableware, vases and also used milk glass for tiling. Milk glass was first produced in Venice in the 16th century and then latterly in Europe including the famous bottleworks in Seaham near Newcastle where I collect once a year or so.
Milk glass was produced in a wide variety of colours but both notably, green and yellow however, I have been lucky enough to find a few pieces of blue, pastel pink and purple and white.....and even a few pieces on Anglesey!
