Based on birth and death records I'm thinking this is post civil war before the 1900's. Is it really milk glass and should I use denture tablets to clean it?

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Yeah its milk glass. Milk glass is basically white glass, its not like a special brand or anything. Looks like an older piece too. Denture tabs usually work for me on things like this

Thanks for the help. The tabs worked really well.

The pattern is "Roman Cross" by Challinor, Taylor & Co. c. 1890s. Does look like an EAPG honey dish to me but is listed at this link as a covered butter:

Big help, thanks again. My grandmother's notes list it as a butter dish as well.
