Pink Milk Glass Salt and Pepper Set
Pink Milk Glass Salt and Pepper Set
$66.00
Roseite - the lovely pink milk glass cousin to Jadeite, was manufactured in the United States by several glass companies from the 1940s to the late 1950s. Each company produced a slight variant either lighter or darker of the pretty pale pink color.
We are pleased to offer this lovely Pink Milk Glass Salt and Pepper Set reissued by one of the original American Milk Glass manufacturers. This pair of shakers is filled with all the retro charm of the mid-century set they were patterned after.
Set measures 4 1/2" tall x 2 1/2" wide at base.
Why Is Pink Milk Glass More Expensive?
To create the dreamy shade of pink milk glass, American glassmakers added a rare earth element called Erbium, to the molten glass. To perfectly capture that authentic, delicate shade of pink, Erbium is also used in the production of these salt & pepper shakers. It is the addition of rare erbium that adds to the production costs and makes these beautiful pink milk glass pieces a bit more dear than their Jadeite counterparts.
