We are pleased to offer these very limited quantities of select pieces in Burmese Satin and Blue Burmese. Beautiful Burmese blushes from a creamy yellow to a peachy pink as a result of pure gold in the formula. Quantities are very limited, so don't miss this opportunity to add a unique piece of Fenton's Burmese glass to your collection!

Burmese History:
In 1885, Frederick Shirley, an Englishman who immigrated to America, patented the formula for an opaque, heat-sensitive glass which, when warmed-in, shaded from lemon yellow to salmon pink. As legend has it, when several of Shirley's pieces were presented to Queen Victoria, she exclaimed that the color reminded her of a Burmese sunset. Mr. Shirley's Mt. Washington Glass Company in New Bedford, Massachusetts, adopted the Burmese name and soon allowed a prestigious British firm, Thomas Webb & Sons, to make Burmese in that country.

Fenton chemist Charles Goe replicated Shirley's Burmese in 1969, after many trials. It has since become one of the most collectible Fenton colors. Burmese contains pure gold, and careful reheating coaxes the delicate pink shading into existence. The yellow color comes from a small amount of depleted uranium in the batch. Over the years, there have been variation in the color of the yellow from greenish to a cream hue. Our recent Burmese glass selections reflect the original Burmese with a creamier yellow base.

The creamy yellow matte finish of this lovely 8-1/2'' Burmese Satin vase features a lush handpainted botanical design by Kim Barley. She was inspired by Redoute, a famous botanical painter in Empress Josephine's court. Originally part of a three-piece Garniture Set offered on QVC, a limited quantity of this vase remains!
