<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UncleChuckTX, post: 219060, member: 154&quot;]Thanks, Tom.&nbsp; I looked through the company history section of the Heacock book, and it says that Nickel Plate Glass also ended up part of US Glass.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing that&#039;s where the confusion came from about the original maker.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one does have the orange &quot;fire&quot; typical to some opalescent pieces.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the exact answer for that.&nbsp; I know opalescence and some &quot;white&quot; / &quot;milk glass&quot; colors are created by reheating areas of the glass after molding / forming.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would think the difference in orange glow / non-glow comes down to the chemical formula used when trying to achieve white glass.&nbsp; Some of the white glass winds up semi-opaque (opalescent), and other white glass winds up completely flat and opaque (mid-century and later milk glass, for example).</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a webpage once that had a chart listing glass colors by the minerals or formulas used to make the color.&nbsp; I can&#039;t find it in my bookmarks anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
