A technique equally effective for both glass crystal and clay glaze, indeed used on some of the “bohemian porcelain” series gave rise to what is generally considered to be the most important and uniquely bohemian contribution to glass and porcelain manufactory was the ‘Beinglas’: a name for a type of semi-opaque glass, also called ‘milk glass’ and ‘milk-water glass’ for its aspect, popularly produced in the factories of Bohemia and Turingia
toward the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th Centuries. The effect was achieved by adding calcinated bone powder to the glaze mix.
