Description: Opaque Glass originated in 16th century Venice. The white variety rose to prominence during the Victorian era, when it was coveted as an economic dead-ringer for porcelain. Its production and popularity saw a resurgence after World War II, thanks to a frenzy of mass production during the 1950s and 1960s (from companies such as Anchor Hocking, Fenton, and Westmoreland)To verify your piece is a genuine antique (1960s and older, look for the "Ring of Fire" by holding it up to a natural light source. Older milk glass was made with iridized salts and, therefore, should produce a rim of iridescent reds, blues, and orange in the sun when the thinnest edges are examined.MY GRANDMOTHER COLLECTED MILK GLASS, PREFERRING VICTORIAN ANTIQUES (1880S-1910S) TO THE MID-CENTURY PIECES (1950S-60S), BUT SHE COLLECTED BOTHI AM NOT AN ANTIQUES COLLECTOR SO I PRESENT TO YOU WHAT I HAVE HERE AS BEST AS I CANPLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS AS THEY ARE A BIG PART OF THE ITEM DESCRIPTIONIF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK AND I WILL TRY TO HELP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(M20)-WHAT IS IT: A DRESSING TABLE BOX (BOX WITH LID)-SIZE: WITH THE LID ON, IT IS ABOUT 7 1/4 X 2 1/4 X 1 3/4 INCHESWEIGHS 1 LB / 450 GIDENTIFYING FEATURES: EMBOSSED "91" ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LID AND THE BOX.
