A quart of milk in a glass bottle.
The milk bottle would crack because the hot water would cause the glass particles to vibrate and move apart, this will make the glass expand from the heat and the glass will then shatter.
i have milk bottles from the shaw dairy just wondering what there worth?

The milk bottle is made of ordinary glass with a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Glass has poor thermal conductivity, so the inside of the bottle will be hot and outside cold. This temperature gradient will cause a stress in the glass and if the glass has small imperfections or flaws in it the glass will break. That is why coffee pots are often made of low expansion glass, like Pyrex, to prevent high stress.
Milk did not come in cartons in 1915! Milk came in pint or quart size glass bottles in English speaking countries and in liter size bottles in other countries. You bought the bottle and the milk. You could exchange the bottle when you bought a new bottle of milk or purchase a new bottle. Most people exchanged bottles.
Glass of warm milk. If no milk is on hand, try a big ol' bottle of scotch.
A bottle of milk is a bottle filled with milk. A milk bottle can be reused many times by recycling which helps the environment to be clean.
These are experiments where an egg is sucked into a bottle, when -- the bottle is heated, then allowed to cool -- a burning piece of paper is placed inside These have been used to demonstrate the effects of -- temperature and pressure -- the chemical binding of oxygen by oxidation ...and have been around since the 19th century (anytime since the invention of the glass milk bottle around 1877).
The opposite of transparent (something that can be "seen-through") is opaque. A glass milk bottle is transparent. The milk is opaque. A plastic milk jug would be semi-transparent.
You really should ask how long it takes for a milk carton to decompose. Milk bottles are made of glass, and they do not decompose, ever.
