What is the most sought-after milk glass?

There is no single most sought-after milk glass. Collectors often seek pieces made by certain companies, such as Fenton, Imperial, Kemple, L. E. Smith, Anchor Hocking and Westmoreland. Hobnail milk glass tends to be a popular choice, and floral trade vases and covered dishes with animal-shaped lids are favorites among collectors as well. Shop a selection of milk glass on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if milk glass is valuable?

To tell if milk glass is valuable, study its details closely. If you spot visible seams, called mold lines, it may indicate that your piece is older and potentially worth more than newer examples of milk glass. You can also look for labels and signatures and then use trusted online resources to determine who produced the milk glass based on these markings. From there, you can search for pieces similar to yours to get a rough idea of their value. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer inspect your glassware and give you an estimate. Find a variety of milk glass on 1stDibs.

How do you identify Westmoreland milk glass?

To identify Westmoreland milk glass, search your piece for a maker's mark. Pieces produced from the early 20th century through the 1940s will usually display a W inside a keystone. Those made between 1946 and 1981 typically feature an interlocked W and G, which stands for Westmoreland Glass. Newer items generally have the full Westmoreland name on them. Keep in mind that some early examples of Westmoreland milk glass may be unmarked. Usually, if you hold these pieces up to natural light, you will notice bright colors along the edge of the glass. They will also often produce a bell-like ringing sound when struck. If your piece has these characteristics, a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can help confirm if it is a Westmoreland. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of milk glass.

How do you tell if milk glass is valuable?

To tell if milk glass is valuable, look at recent sales history on trusted online platforms to see what prices similar pieces have fetched. The maker, style, type, age and condition of an item will largely determine how much it is worth. Because there are so many examples of milk glass and many factors affect potential value, having a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer assist you with the valuation process can be helpful. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of milk glass.

How do I identify Indiana milk glass?

To identify Indiana milk glass, familiarize yourself with the company's patterns. Two well-known examples are the Orange Blossom line of milk glass, which has an intricate raised floral motif, and the Princess range, which features alternating bands of crisscrossing and vertical lines. Most Indiana milk glass is unmarked, so you'll need to study the patterns on pieces to determine if the American manufacturer produced them. You can find images of Indiana milk glass on trusted online resources to compare to your piece. Because it can be difficult to make a positive identification without training and experience, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a collection of Indiana glass on 1stDibs.

What dresses were popular in the 1940s?

A number of dresses were popular during the 1940s. Many women wore short-waist dresses with button necks, collars, fitted waists and full skirts. The classic A-lines with knee-length hems in red, white and blue colors were also a trend. Shop a collection of vintage dresses on 1stDibs.

What did Ladies Wear in the 1940s?

In the 1940s, ladies wore clothes defined by clean and slim silhouettes. The jackets, blouses and sweaters often featured shoulderpads and had somewhat of a military feel. Most dresses were quite casual and pants and playsuits became part of a woman's everyday style.

What is a 1940s style dress?

The most popular 1940s-style dress was the shirtwaist dress. It had a front opening like a men’s shirt, but with large buttons in the front of the dress, which was practical and easy to wear. The sleeves were short and necklines varied from shirt style to sweetheart and other necklines. Antique and vintage dresses from well-known designers are available on 1stDibs.

How do I know if my milk glass is worth anything?

To know if your milk glass is worth anything, you can take one of two approaches. One option is to conduct online research using trusted resources. Looking at historical prices for pieces similar to yours in terms of their age, maker, style, type and condition, you can often estimate how much your glassware is worth. For a more specific valuation, you can take the second approach and enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of milk glassware.

Which designer was called the Mother of American Fashion in the 1940s?

Claire McCardell was the designer often called the Mother of American Fashion in the 1940s. An American designer, she helped introduce women's sportswear to the United States and was particularly well-known for her bias-cut, loose-fitting Monastic dress. When World War II broke out in the 1940s, she designed pieces out of readily available materials like denim, calico and wool jersey, introducing new fabrics for women's clothing that would remain popular well after the close of the war. Many people point to McCardell as one of the first successful American fashion designers. Shop a collection of Claire McCardell apparel on 1stDibs.

What were the ’70s glasses called?

What the ’70s glasses were called depended on the shape of their frames. Sunglasses and eyeglasses that feature rounded frames with a double bridge are aviator glasses. The oversized women's sunglasses that feature curved, thick frames are butterfly sunglasses, while the angular looks worn by Elton John and other celebrities of the 1970s are square sunglasses. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of vintage sunglasses.

Finding the Right Lighting for You

The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.

Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.

Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.

Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.

As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.

There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.

With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.

The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
