Burmese glass found favor with Queen Victoria. From 1886,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;the British company of Thomas Webb \u0026amp; Sons was licensed to produce the glass.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Their version, known as Queen's Burmeseware, which was used for tableware and\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;decorative glass, often with painted decoration. Burmese was also made after\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;1970 by the Fenton art glass company.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Burmese is a uranium glass. The formula to produce Burmese Glass contains\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;uranium oxide with tincture of gold added. The uranium oxide produced the\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;inherent soft yellow color of Burmese glass. Because of the added gold, the\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;characteristic pink blush of color of Burmese was fashioned by re-heating the\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;object in the furnace. The length of time in the furnace will determine the\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;intensity of the color. Strangely, if the object is subjected to the heat again,\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;it will return to the original yellow color.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;tw133","brand":"sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46263615684824,"sku":"3525786392_503D","price":1265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/6284\/7960\/files\/c1890-mt-washington-burmese-hobnail-creamer-and-sugar-rare-and-authenticestate-fresh-austin-598216.png?v=1757925479","url":"https:\/\/estatefreshaustin.com\/th\/products\/estatefreshaustincom-3403","provider":"Estate Fresh Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
