Milk Glass Bud Vase Quilted Diamond Pattern
Vintage 1950s milk glass in a quilted pattern design with scallop, ruffle rim — 9" tall—Milk glass began in the 16th century with Venetian glass makers. It was originally called opal glass because of its milky, opaque appearance which was achieved by adding ash, arsenic, or tin oxide. The most well-known producers of milk glass, during its heyday (1940s - 1970s) were Westmoreland, Fenton, and Indiana Glass. Today, milk glass has lost much of its value with the buying public, however, it is still a popular choice with collectors and decorators as it provides the perfect subtle addition to colorful vignettes and floral arrangements.
