NMGCS Membership

If you are interested in finding out more about opaque glass, known as milk glass, then you may wish to join the National Milk Glass Collectors Society.

The National Milk Glass Collectors Society is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to the study and preservation of this unique segment of the glass world. Members of the society receive a quarterly publication, the Opaque News. This newsletter contains informative articles on all aspects of milk glass, written by members with many years of collecting expertise. Articles include news on reproductions, distinguishing new milk glass from old, and information covering individual pieces, as well as the companies manufacturing them.

The National Milk Glass Collectors Society also sponsors an annual convention at which members can buy, sell, trade, and display milk glass. The convention features a buffet dinner, speakers, and presentations on milk glass, the annual business meeting of the Society, and an auction of approximately 300 quality pieces of milk glass. Members may also purchase a NMGCS Commemorative. The convention is open to members only. Memberships are available at the door.
