Crown Milano Glass Pattern

Crown Milano was a popular and patented art glass pattern produced by the Mt. Washington Glass works in Boston, Massachusetts, during the 1890′s. The pieces have an opal or earth-toned ground to which heavy gold enameling has been applied. Some Crown Milano decoration includes beads and/or jewel-like stones. Crown Milano is typically marked by a crown within a wreath device, hence its name.

Generally speaking, Crown Milano art glass is identical to an earlier, less successful, art glass pattern developed by Albert Steffin and called “Albertine”.
