Dennis,

I'm not sure I follow your question. The two materials feel and look quite different when you have them in hand. But it is not always to easy to tell from photos.

Dennis,

Both bottles illustrated are porcelain by shape of the material and having a glaze over a clay body.  Milk glass is glass, and is quite distinguishable from porcelain.  Can you be more specific on your question?

You helped me Charll.  I was looking for the collectors eye. You know it when you see it. Thank you.
