Know before you buy
Yes, Glasbake milk glass was designed for oven-to-table baking. However, as with all vintage glassware, avoid sudden temperature changes—such as moving it directly from a hot oven to a cold surface—to prevent thermal shock.
The loaf pan measures 10 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 3 inches high. It is a standard size suitable for most quick bread and yeast loaf recipes.
To keep the floral pattern vibrant, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh dishwasher detergents, which can cause the vintage print to fade over time.
Yes, the iconic blue thistle floral design is printed on both sides of the milk glass, ensuring the pattern is visible regardless of how you place it on your table.
While milk glass is generally heat-resistant, we advise caution with microwaves. Vintage glass can sometimes contain trace materials that react poorly to microwave energy, so it is best to stick to traditional oven use.
