Where To Find Milk Glass

I’ve been collecting milk glass for years.  If you’ve been around here for awhile you’ll know that I’m very frugal. I usually only buy it at thrift stores and garage sales, but occasionally I splurge for a piece at an antique store.

I picked up some white tulips, english daisies, and little pansies at my favourite local nursery.  The succulent is actually a faux one.

There are so many pretty patterns of milk glass, but a favourite of mine is the hobnail.

Most of my pieces have been under $5 finds and I love hunting for them.  Although I feel like I have so much now, that I usually don’t buy it unless I really love it.

The bud vases are probably the very easiest to find.  These were a real go-to for florist in the 50’s and 60’s, which means there’s lots of it around today still.

I find that milk glass is great for entertaining too.

I think my favourite pieces are these footed vases/candy bowls.

There’s lots more pieces available than vases though, like this little serving plate.

My footed cake stand is actually a reproduction, although there are vintage ones out there too.

    You have a beautiful collection of milk glass. I loved seeing how you both display and use pieces in your collection. Side note – I never would have guessed that your succulent was faux.

    One of my favorite memories was eating grapefruit out of my moms milk glass bowls in Florida. So funny how a vintage item brings out such a warm and happy feeling.
    Love your collection.
    Hugs,

    Paula, thanks so much. It’s been fun to collect for sure. And aren’t good faux’s amazing? No pressure for us with less than green thumbs. 😉
