<p>[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 83026, member: 878"]Opaline is a good word to describe it if offering for sale. Originated in France 1800s, describing translucent white, grew into many colors. But it is used on both translucent and opaque glass by many glass peddlars. IMHO it definitely should not be used for milk glass. </p><p>Westmoreland's original 'milk glass' was semi-translucent and named Opal. </p><p>I'm guessing your piece to be American and mid 1900s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
