<p>[QUOTE=&quot;R. Antonis, post: 575001, member: 3943&quot;]Hey everybody, </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there anyone here who knows about old glass? (17th / 18th Century) </p><p>I have bought 2 items that I estimated at around 1770-1780. </p><p><br /></p><p>But who knows, maybe they are a bit older. </p><p>I have no idea how I can recognize this. I have been on the internet for an eternity, and I have looked at a lot of milk glass from the 18th century. </p><p><br /></p><p>But this all seems to be quite solid, whiter milk glass. </p><p>I believe that it was made to imitate porcelain. </p><p>The origin is also unknown. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the 2 pieces separately, which might be useful to know. </p><p>(If you ask me it can be anything; from France to Bohemian to German) </p><p><br /></p><p>It is super small. </p><p>The vase is 7 cm high.</p><p>The cup / egg cup is 4.5 cm high. </p><p>Handpainted and hand blown. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea whether this should be called opaline glass, opal glass, milk glass, or opalescent glass. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]173745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173747[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173750[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173751[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173752[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]173754[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
