Vintage Old Colony Milk Glass Bowl | Anchor Hocking Open Lace Pattern | Farmhouse & Cottage Decor
Meet the newest treasure from my latest thrift haul- a gorgeous Old Colony milk glass bowl in the beloved “Open Lace” pattern by Anchor Hocking. This mid-century beauty has that soft, opaque white glow that only true milk glass has, with a delicately scalloped, lattice-cut rim that catches the light just right.
Originally produced in the 1940s–50s, this piece has already had one full life and it’s ready for another. Whether you fill it with fresh fruit, seasonal florals, or a pile of mismatched buttons on a shelf, it brings that soft, collected-over-time look that no big-box store can replicate.
