Opaline Milk Glass For Sale on 1stDibs
Choose from an assortment of styles, material and more in our collection of opaline milk glass on 1stDibs. Was constructed with extraordinary care, often using glass, opaline glass and metal. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect piece of opaline milk glass — we have versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. An item from our selection of opaline milk glass is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Industrial, Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco styles are sought with frequency. You’ll likely find more than one choice in our collection of opaline milk glass that is appealing in its simplicity, but 360volt, Peter Behrens and Stilnovo produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a Opaline Milk Glass?
A piece of opaline milk glass can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $419, while the lowest priced sells for $110 and the highest can go for as much as $24,900.
Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Opaline Milk Glass
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024There is no single most sought-after milk glass. Collectors often seek pieces made by certain companies, such as Fenton, Imperial, Kemple, L. E. Smith, Anchor Hocking and Westmoreland. Hobnail milk glass tends to be a popular choice, and floral trade vases and covered dishes with animal-shaped lids are favorites among collectors as well. Shop a selection of milk glass on 1stDibs.
- What is French opaline glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022French opaline glass was made in France between 1810 and 1890 and has a white finish that resembles milk glass. The first colors made were turquoise, yellow and pink, but as the period progressed they made brighter colors in an effort to imitate Bohemian glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted French opaline glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Opaline glass denotes many forms of opaque glass, but primarily identifies a decorative style of glass popularized in France during the 1800s. The glass appears opaque or slightly translucent, and can come in white or a variety of bright colors. Shop a selection of opaline glass vases and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- How do I identify opaline glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify opaline glass, try holding it up to a natural light source. Most pieces will appear semi-translucent and have a pinkish-red tint when viewed in the sun. Next, search for seam marks. By the 19th century, artisans used a free-blowing technique to produce opaline glass, so most pieces are free of seams. You'll also usually see a pontil on the mark, which forms when the glass is broken off during the production process. Maker's marks can also provide a clue, as some makers are especially well-known for opaline glass. Among them are Baccarat, Lalique, Saint-Louis, Le Creusot, Portieux Vallerystahl and Loren Hope. If you're still unsure whether your piece is opaline, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a range of opaline glass objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024To tell if milk glass is valuable, study its details closely. If you spot visible seams, called mold lines, it may indicate that your piece is older and potentially worth more than newer examples of milk glass. You can also look for labels and signatures and then use trusted online resources to determine who produced the milk glass based on these markings. From there, you can search for pieces similar to yours to get a rough idea of their value. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer inspect your glassware and give you an estimate. Find a variety of milk glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify Westmoreland milk glass, search your piece for a maker's mark. Pieces produced from the early 20th century through the 1940s will usually display a W inside a keystone. Those made between 1946 and 1981 typically feature an interlocked W and G, which stands for Westmoreland Glass. Newer items generally have the full Westmoreland name on them. Keep in mind that some early examples of Westmoreland milk glass may be unmarked. Usually, if you hold these pieces up to natural light, you will notice bright colors along the edge of the glass. They will also often produce a bell-like ringing sound when struck. If your piece has these characteristics, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can help confirm if it is a Westmoreland. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of milk glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024To tell if milk glass is valuable, look at recent sales history on trusted online platforms to see what prices similar pieces have fetched. The maker, style, type, age and condition of an item will largely determine how much it is worth. Because there are so many examples of milk glass and many factors affect potential value, having a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer assist you with the valuation process can be helpful. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of milk glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024To identify Indiana milk glass, familiarize yourself with the company's patterns. Two well-known examples are the Orange Blossom line of milk glass, which has an intricate raised floral motif, and the Princess range, which features alternating bands of crisscrossing and vertical lines. Most Indiana milk glass is unmarked, so you'll need to study the patterns on pieces to determine if the American manufacturer produced them. You can find images of Indiana milk glass on trusted online resources to compare to your piece. Because it can be difficult to make a positive identification without training and experience, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a collection of Indiana glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024To identify French opaline glass, hold it up to a light source. Genuine opaline glass should appear translucent and take on a pink or red tint. Also, turn the piece over. Because opaline glass is hand-blown, you should see a small circular point at the center of the base. If you're still not certain about the identification, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you. Find a range of opaline glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024To know if your milk glass is worth anything, you can take one of two approaches. One option is to conduct online research using trusted resources. Looking at historical prices for pieces similar to yours in terms of their age, maker, style, type and condition, you can often estimate how much your glassware is worth. For a more specific valuation, you can take the second approach and enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of milk glassware.
