Yes, zinc lid liners are made of milk glass. However the industry has referred to them as "porcelain" since the beginning. Therefore, I've always considered "milk glass" and "porcelain" to be interchangeable when referring to zinc lids.
I've seen zinc lid liners in milky aqua, amethyst, bluish and almost clear. I think it's just the milk glass mixing with whatever color was in a prior batch, so it's not intentional on the manufacturer's part. I have seen a few amber liners that always seem to have the same design in the center, sort of like the Tudor Rose rosette but not quite. I don't have an example, nor did I find one in a google search.
