Fenton Burmese GlassIllustrated examples of fine Burmese glass, organized by year of their introduction, along with information and background on the glass workers who produce this glass. Burmese glass was developed by the Mt. Washington glass company in 1885 and was named by Queen Victoria because the shaded colors reminded her of a sunset in Burma. The Fenton Art Glass Company is the only company to successfully replicate the original Burmese formula in modern times.
