History of Burmese
Glass |
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.
Shirley's Mt.
Washington Glass Co., in New Bedford, MA, adopted the Burmese
name. |
| In 1969,
after many trials, Fenton chemist Charles Goe replicated
Shirley's Burmese, & it has become one of the most
collectible Fenton colors. Burmese contains pure
gold, & 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 has been variation in the color of the yellow from
greenish to a cream hue. |
| The
current Burmese reflects the original Burmese with a creamier
yellow base. |

|
| |
| |
|
| Made with pure gold, Fenton Burmese
glass is always a delight to behold ... but delight is
doubled when a piece is done by cameo artist Kelsey Murphy. |
| "Gauley River Sunrise" is Kelsey's
first creation for the new Studio Fenton division.
This vase is limited to just 375 individually numbered
pieces. Each vase is signed by Kelsey Murphy and has
the Fenton logo. |
| |
| The vase begins with Fenton Burmese
glass, carefully chilled and reheated to create an all-over,
shiny pink exterior. After the glass is annealed
and a special mask is taped to the surface, the painstaking
cameo carving process can begin. |
| Using Kelsey Murphy's advanced "vignetting"
technique, each vase is carefully carved, by hand, employing
aluminum oxide crystals under pressure to take away some of
the surface. Great individual skill & experience
are needed to control this operation, as a dozen distinct
stages of successive cameo carving are required to create
the remarkable depth and intricate details you will see in
this vase. |
| The final result of the cameo carver's
art is simply awesome! All the grandeur of a summer
sunrise on West Virginia's scenic Gauley River is captured
forever in this gorgeous Burmese Vase. |

Burmese
"Fruits & Flowers" Vase |
|
2005 "Glass Messenger"
Subscriber Exclusive |
| This exclusive Vase
is made in Burmese glass which contains pure gold in the
formula. Inspired by the blush of Burmese,
which goes from a creamy yellow to a peachy pink, Kim
Barley created a special hand painted design with peaches that matches
the piglet below. |
| This vase is made
with a mould designed by sculptor Jon Saffell.
This is only the second time this mould was used to make a
vase, and the graceful six-point crimp on the top was used
for the first time on this vase. |
| On the bottom of the
Vase, it is individually numbered, dated, and inscribed
with the signature of George Fenton. |
| This Exclusive Vase
was offered in 2005, the year of Fenton's 100th
Anniversary Celebration, and there is a special 100th mark
on the bottom to indicate this. |
|
The Vase will come with a numbered
certificate, the display base, and the original box. |
| Size: 7.5" high |
| |
| This Exclusive Vase
comes with a wooden base that Fenton provided to store dealers
to display the item. Only store dealers
received the base; the base was not available to
collectors who purchased this item in 2005. The
base has an engraved brass plate on the front. |
