Burmese glass is a type of opaque colored art glass, shading from yellow, blue or green to pink. Burmese glass found favor with Queen Victoria. From 1886, the British company of Thomas Webb & Sons was licensed to produce the glass.
Burmese was originally a uranium glass. The original formula to produce Burmese Glass contained uranium oxide with tincture of gold added. based on a formula developed in 1886 by chemist Frederick Shirley of the Mt. Washington Glass Company. Shirley's formula substituted cobalt and/or copper oxide for uranium oxide, producing pale blue glasses rather than the original pale yellow. Mt Washington Glass Company had referred to its similarly coloured glasses, made of ruby glass with added cobalt, as "Peachblow" or "Peach Skin"; it was not commercially successful.
