RE: 17th or 18th Century? - 9/5/2009 6:25:38 PM    milkglassbottles Posts: 601 Joined: 12/30/2007 Status: offline Uh....I  beg to differ. The term enamel when used in conjunction with the term paint, means the type of paint. Typically an air dried gloss type. I could be wrong but I don't think I am this time. Charlie, CC is picking on me...make him stop and explain the term enamel as used in the context of our conversation. Thanx!

That would mean 19th century at the earliest? _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to cc6pack) Post #: 128

RE: 17th or 18th Century? - 9/5/2009 7:12:53 PM    milkglassbottles Posts: 601 Joined: 12/30/2007 Status: offline Actually milk glass has been been around since the 1500's. Most of the items that have surfaced and are available date from the 1700's and 1800's. Attached is a pic of bottle probably from the very early 1700's. Great Museum piece... By the way, it is my understanding that those two inks were from the late 1780's to maybe 1800 something.
