Italian Uranium glass Mid Century Murano Burmese dolphin figure

Description

Italian Uranium glass Mid Century Murano Burmese dolphin figure. Selling the figure shown from the third quarter of the 20th century with no damage, previously sold at Early's art glass auction in the 90's or so. 7.25" tall, first pic shown with a uv flashlight shining on it.

Burmese glass is a single layer glass with delicate coloration of pink or salmon shading to yellow by the addition of uranium oxide and gold to the original glass batch. This created a yellow opaque glass which on reheating turned to a salmon color shading into the yellow. Further reheating turned the salmon color back to yellow as shown on the scalloped base of this figurine. The uranium in the glass causes the vase to fluoresce brightly when exposed to black light.
