| Milk Glass & Glassware Milk glass has been around since the 16th century, but the term itself was coined in the 20th century to describe the opaque white plates, goblets, serving items, and decorative objects that became popular in the late 1880s. The "white milky color" of the glass came from adding ash or oxides to the clear glass while it was hot. The deeper the white color of the glass depicted, the better quality.
