milk glass

Milk glass is opaque white glass, typically used for decorative objects like vases, bowls, and lamp shades.
The milky appearance comes from additives that prevent light from passing through.
Popular in Victorian-era America, milk glass remains collectible: She found a milk glass vase at the antique shop.
