    Hello and Happy Easter to those celebrating !

    What is this type of glass called? Opaque off white. Can these shades be attributed to a lamp maker? Measurements are 3" high, 5" Bottom Diameter. 1.75" opening

    You could try custard glass.

    Also shine a torch through, if you see orange/red tones it could be opaline/opalescent glass.

    One way to test for custard glass: grab a black light and take glass and light into a dark room. A walk-in closet works great. If it's custard it'll light up like a beacon under blacklight. White reflects it, but custard will glow.

    Thanks to all of you. Not custard or opaline glass. Could they maybe be clambroth glass? Sorry my Thank you did not come sooner.
