I do not collect milk glass deliberately. While I think milk glass is pretty, especially the more ornate pressed patterns, it’s just not ‘my thing’.
I picked this piece up somewhere – don’t really remember where and have not been able to identify it. I have posted it on a Facebook glass ID site to no avail.
It is a heavy piece – weighs over a pound on its own – with lots of details. If anyone knows its provenance, I would be grateful for information.

I picked up this sugar/creamer set awhile back and had no luck identifying it. I saw it online also unidentified. I finally got around to posting it on a Facebook Group to which I belong – Vintage Glass Identification – and someone responded with the ID very quickly.
I was quite surprised to discover that this set was from the same line as the compote below. Never crossed my mind to make the connection.
It is so great to have a veritable world of people to help you out with your questions.

I have this compote in green. Picked this one up during my July travels in the States. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I have found that this is line, or pattern, #1007
and is described as ‘Tulip” or tulip-shaped. The compote comes in quite a number of colours – iridescent, amber, blue, frosted blue – at least.
I’ve seen it in blue, in the flesh. Very pretty.

I have seen this piece online in the past. It has been identified as Westmoreland, but I do no know if this is true. If someone else does that would be great. It is not signed, but has the number ‘3’ in the bottom of the base.
I only have the reference – Westoreland Glass 1950-1984 by Lorraine Kovar. This piece is not represented. No surprise as I think it was made earlier.
In any event it is a neat piece. I like the cheeky expression on the lion’s face. The paint is worn off but it obviously was decorated with dark brown or green in the past.
