Slag glass, also commonly known as Malachite glass, is pressed glass made in the same way as Milk glass, but with coloured streaks to create a marble effect. Many of the same designs for milk glass were also produced in slag glass. Malachite or slag glass was mainly made by British companies Sowerby, Davidson and Greener during the Victorian era, around the 1880's/90's. By far the most common colour for slag glass was purple, but it was also made in blue and turquoise green glass. Modern slag glass is still being made today in USA, and comes in a variety of colours.
