Milk glass is a translucent/opaque milk white or colored glass that was first produced during the 16th century in Venice. There is a whole scientific process for turning glass into milk glass which involves the addition of opacifiers to the melt, changing the refractive index. Boring!
Lets just say it's lovely with it's creamy translucency. It is also highly prized and collectable and these pieces are no exception. Here we have a wonderful set of two sawtooth ruffled edge candy dishes with pink edging. Not to be considered true hobnail, they are a pressed diamond cut hobnail. The larger of the two is 7" square and the smaller 4 1/4" square and both pieces are in excellent condition without chips, cracks, scratches, and the edges are smooth and free of any roughness. They are a wonderful addition to any milk glass collection. Sold as set.
