[QUOTE="Historic milk glass, post: 2043848, member: 14707"]This is the second time I am trying to post a response. My images were duplicated when I went to change to a full size image. This software is the worst imaginable, don’t let anyone tell you differently; I could not even find an option to delete my reply but I think I managed after 10 minutes to undo the duplicate pics. This is my final attempt to end this mystery as to the ceramic milk glass mug! I believe I have followed this thread correctly but I’m still a bit confused about the subject handled mug. Am I missing something here or are do you still feel your mug is milk glass? That is not glass! It was glazed and fired. The handle attachment is a dead give away! With the exception of pressed glass pieces, even later Victorian era as well as studio made handle attachments look nothing like that. One can clearly see where the second gather was applied for a handle or rigaree. These are early to mid 1800’s pieces; look at the attachment and termination details. Note the attachment and termination details; they start at the top and finish at the bottom. Later 1800’s pieces start at the bottom and terminate at the top.[/QUOTE]
