What the heck is milk glass? Well, according to wikipedia: milk glass contains a dispersion of particles with refractive index significantly different from the glass matrix, which scatter light by the Tyndall scattering mechanism.
But to me, milk glass takes me back to my childhood; seemingly-carefree days running around the church campground where my grandparents were caretakers, chasing Sugar, my cousins' albino boxer down gravel roads, and sneaking off to fish for channel cat with grasshoppers in the local cow pond. Any time we would stop in at my grandparents' house, my grandma ("Maw maw," as my cousins all called her) would try to feed us. I can still hear her insisting that we must be hungry for something (eggs being the usual suggestion). My grandma's everyday coffee cups were milk glass. And these are the kind of cups she would serve coffee to the adults and cocoa with little marshmallows to the kids in the winter.
These are vintage Pyrex cups manufactured in the 1950s, available in a limited quantity, sold individually.
A slightly-translucent, opaque white cup with a distinctive 50s style angular handle adorned with blue snowflake patterns all the way around the top, like holiday decorations hanging from the rim. Throwback? Yes. Hip? AF.
