[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 137347, member: 70"]The yellowy glow is from the presence of Calcium, most glass made with lime (Calcium oxide) will have a yellow, or lime yellow glow, (greenish yellow). Milk glass was not an original name, until the mid 20th century when books were published calling it that. Opal (apparently the original pronunciation was oh pall', oh paul' or oh pal' as in my pal Sal) has been made since ancient times. Nice vase, wish I could help with ID. You're right, that's the wrong stopper.[/QUOTE]
