Message:: [QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 184525, member: 44"]I thought the same at one time. The Glass Museum page on Goofus glass talks about milk glass goofus glass. Nowwww I'm not sure of the creditablity of that site. "The glass itself generally was clear, although milk glass is often seen with both types of decoration." "As mentioned, most Goofus is found with clear and sometimes milk glass, but it is also known to be found with pale aqua, bright aquamarine, apple green, light amber and frosted glass. For these reasons, I speculate that considerable quantities of "blanks" were bought from the original manufacturers and "’gussied up" by decorating houses for resale." The lamp in the last link I posted has remnants of red paint on it. I wonder if the milk glass pieces once had paint on them and the paint flaked off? --- Susan[/QUOTE]
