Opaque glass and repeating designs

Hobnail bumps, paneled forms and relief borders occur on milk glass from more than one manufacturer. A moulded factory mark or paper label provides a maker clue; the white colour describes the glass rather than the company.

What to check next

Compare the rim edge, foot ring and full pattern repeat. A porcelain object also can be white and opaque, so inspect the unglazed or unfinished base and material before choosing a glass reference.
