<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Historic milk glass, post: 1999682, member: 14707&quot;]Milk glass, opalescent or otherwise has been around since the days of the Romans. In the 1700’s milk glass became most prevalent as an affordable substitute for the import Chinese porcelain which couldn’t be manufactured&nbsp; at a reasonable price point in Bohemia and the like. It’s no coincidence Bohemian milk glass was decorated in a similar fashion to replicate costlier import&nbsp; porcelain. From a distance, one might be hard pressed to tell the difference; some resellers can’t even tell the difference, as I’ve purchased countless pieces misrepresented as “fine china”.</p><p>Below are some examples intended to mimic import Chinese pieces. Most of these were blown and decorated at the Harrach glass house which is still operating after 300 years![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
