Antique Opalescent Glass

Opalescent glass is a general term for clear or coloured glass with a milky white opaque or translucent effect often to the raised parts of the glass item. Lalique, Sabino and Joblings are all well known for their opalescent art deco glass, though production had started in the 1870s by some of the Stourbridge glass houses when heat reactive chemicals were added to the mix.
