The term we use today, milk glass, may have first been used by the Victorians who fell in love with it, due in part to its similarity to porcelain, which only the very wealthiest families could afford.

    The Colors of Sea Glass Where Do They Come From?

    The Colors Of Sea Glass Where Do They Come From? ...Just where do the colors of beach glass come from? Sea Glass is simply old glass products that were thrown into the sea, But, "Sea Glass is JUST GLASS, like Diamonds are JUST ROCKS"© It takes decades for broken glass to "become" sea glass. If you think about it, the common colors of sea glass, Green, Brown & White are still in wide use today......Rarer colors of seaglass are pieces that the color has not been made or used commercially for many years. We have broken the colors into rarity categories, it is a general rule and not to be carved in stone (or glass!) as certain colors can be found more readily in some areas. For Example, lavender glass can be a rarity in areas yet abundant in Maine & Canada but hardly ever found in the islands. Next time you're in an antique shop or flea market, look at the glass items and see if you haven't found a piece of glass this color! By The Sea Jewelry is proud to offer the finest Genuine Sea Glass Jewelry in just about every color of sea glass in the world! This glass knowledge is based on 28 years of collecting and decades of researching the origins of our glass. (Place your mouse over or tap the images to reveal what the sea glass looks like in this glass color and then a corresponding piece of our jewelry in that color) Common - White, Green, Brown found in most beach combing locations throughout the world.
