FAQs

Burmese glass is an art glass type developed in the late 19th century, known for its heat-sensitive shading from soft yellow to pink, often credited to the Mount Washington Glass Company and Thomas Webb & Sons.

Burmese glass is an opalescent glass that derives its characteristic warm colouration from a composition containing gold, which reacts to heat during the reheating process to strike the pink gradient.

Authentic pieces typically feature a smooth, satin or matte finish, a distinct shading gradient from yellow at the base to pink at the rim, and may sometimes bear acid-etched manufacturer signatures or patent marks on the underside.

This piece works well as a focal point on a mantelpiece or a side table, where its gentle gradient adds subtle colour and traditional texture to modern minimalist or transitional spaces.

Antique glass should be hand washed gently using lukewarm water and mild washing-up liquid, avoiding harsh abrasives, ultrasonic cleaners, and sudden temperature changes to protect the delicate surface finish.
