milk glass is back!

Since I started wheeling and dealing in the early '90s, people's interest in milk glass slowly seemed to go from "Yeah, I'll buy that -- it's milk glass!" to "Milk glass?  Ugh."

As near as I can tell, though, it seems to have found approval again, at least from people buying on Etsy. 

Oddly, what seems to sell is the real junk milk glass -- those cheapo bud vases and planters that I think originally came from FTD, as in "For Mother's Day 1962, why not send Mom a lovely arrangement in this cheapo milk glass vase?  She'll not only love it, she'll re-think cutting you out of the will in favor of your sister!"  These are found in every single thrift shop in the country, along with those old Christmas lps one of the tire companies used to put out. 

So, I've been buying milk glass, but only the classic Westmoreland stuff and other non-junky items.  Hopefully, the milk glass buying public will soon tire of the junk and start pursuing the better quality article.
