FAQs

Burmese glass is a form of opaque art glass patented in the late 19th century, characterized by a shaded colour transition from soft yellow to pink, often completed with an acid-etched satin finish.

The glass batch contained uranium oxide and gold salts. Reheating specific areas of the object during production caused the gold to react, shifting the colour from yellow to pink.

Authentic pieces exhibit a smooth gradient transition between yellow and pink, a matte satin texture, and often show fluorescent glow under ultraviolet light due to uranium content.

Display single art glass pieces on a sideboard, open shelving, or window sill where natural light accentuates the colour gradient and surface texture without cluttering the space.

Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild dish liquid. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh detergents, and dishwashers to protect the acid-etched exterior and delicate glass structure.
