ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, HISTORY &/or LORE: Milk glass is described as an opaque, milky white glass that is blown or pressed into a variety of shapes. When it is used in costume jewelry, it produces a piece with a bold crispness not found when using other materials. Early examples of milk glass vintage jewelry can include pieces marked Germany and Japan. Miriam Haskell was partial to the use of milk glass in her jewelry, as well as Trifari. Trifari often used white milk glass gems, particularly in marquis and navette shapes.
