Burmese glass is a type of opaque colored art glass, shading from yellow to pink. It is found in either the rare original "shiny" finish or the more common "satin" finish. It is used for table glass and small, ornamental vases and dressing table articles.

Because of the added gold, the characteristic pink blush of color of Burmese was fashioned by re-heating the object in the furnace. The length of time in the furnace will determine the intensity of the color. Strangely, if the object is subjected to the heat again, it will return to the original yellow color isshelf
