- Opal Glass - Opal glass, also known as milk glass, is a type of opaque glass that is usually white or cream-colored, with a slightly translucent appearance resembling opal. It is produced by adding various materials to the glass during the manufacturing process, such as tin, fluorides, or phosphates, which give it its characteristic milky appearance.
Opal glass has been used for centuries in the production of decorative objects, such as vases, lamps, lamp shades and figurines. It was particularly popular in the 19th century in Europe, where was used by glass makers such as Lalique.
Opal glass is still used today in the production of a wide range of decorative and functional objects, including lampshades, jewelry, and kitchenware. Its milky appearance gives it a timeless, elegant look that is popular with collectors and enthusiasts of antique and vintage glassware.
