WHAT IS MILK GLASS DINNERWARE
Every dinnerware that exists today didn’t just fall out of heaven, it started somewhere, and this same rule applies to milk glass dinnerware.
General history tells us that milk glass dinnerware started in the 16th century in far away Venice but it gained popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the USA.
Now, for the record, milk glass dinnerware is generally known as “opal glass” because of its milky white color and it may contain various ingredients to achieve its distinctive opacity and color depending on the milk glass dinnerware brand.
Aside from the common milky white color, milk glass dinnerware also comes in green, blue, pink, yellow, and blue colors, etc.
To make milk glass, raw materials like silica, soda ash, and lime are melted together and then mixed with the opaque agents.
This mixture is then molded into various dinnerware shapes, like plates, bowls, and cups. After shaping, the items are cooled slowly to reduce stress on the glass.
Furthermore, milk glass plates and bowls can add a touch of vintage charm to your table, and their neutral color can seamlessly blend with different decor styles.
Generally, milk glass dinnerware has a smooth surface, is lightweight (some brands might be a little bit heavy), is microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and might not be oven-safe (depending on the brand).
In addition, we can also say that milk glass dinnerware is made up of tempered glass durability, resistant to chips and cracks, and is also approximately 70% stronger than ceramic dinnerware.
They have a stackable shape, making them a good option for space saving, and just like most dinnerware brands; they are not suitable for open flame use.
Milk glass dinnerware is also easy to handle, stain and odor-resistant, versatile, practical for everyday use, generally affordable (dependent on the brand), and can complement both casual and formal occasions.
Examples of popular milk glass dinnerware brands are Fenton, McKee, Pyrex, Westmoreland, Mosser, Indiana, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Fostoria, etc.
Finally, we will recommend milk glass dinnerware for anyone who appreciates durability and ease of maintenance.
