True Milk Glass has the look of white porcelain. It was first made in Venice during the 14th or 15th century. Milk glass with an opaque white appearance is usually made with tin oxide. Milk Glass with a semi-opaque white appearance is made with ashes of calcined bones. This kind of glass is sometime called; Opal glass, Opaline glass, and Milk-and-Water glass. In the 20 century "Milk Glass" was formulated in blues and pinks yet still called Milk Glass even though it is a oxymoron. I never saw a cow give pink or blue milk! [/I][/QUOTE]
