c1880 Mt Washington Uranium Glass Burmese pitcher

Description

c1880 Mt Washington Uranium Glass Burmese pitcher 7.5" tall 5.5" handle to<br>spout, no damage or issues.<br><br>Designed by Frederick Shirley and made by the Mount Washington Glass Company,<br>this single layer glass achieved a delicate coloration of pink or salmon shading<br>to yellow by the addition of uranium oxide and gold to the original glass batch.<br>This created a yellow opaque glass which on reheating turned to a salmon color<br>shading into the yellow. Further reheating turned the salmon color back to<br>yellow. The uranium in the glass causes the vase to fluoresce brightly when<br>exposed to black light. Burmese glass is highly collected and is also included<br>in all major American Art Glass collections. This glass is rare today as it was<br>very expensive to manufacture and was only made for a short period of time.
