The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Milk glass, historically known as opaline glass, is an opaque or translucent white glass blown or pressed into decorative shapes, widely manufactured across Europe during the 18th century as an alternative to costly imported porcelain.

Craftsmen created splattered milk glass by rolling a gather of opaque molten white glass over crushed coloured glass frit, which was then reheated, combed or manipulated, and hand-blown into a mould or shape.

Authentic pieces typically feature a hand-finished pontil mark on the base, slight structural asymmetry from manual blowing, subtle wear patterns on contact points, and variation in colorant density.

Display the flask on a floating shelf, fireplace mantelpiece, or open bookcase where natural light can accentuate the vitreous surface texture and hand-applied patterns.

Dust gently with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and clean only when necessary using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding chemical solvents and sudden temperature shifts.
