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. |

Limited Edition of 375
|
| |
| |
|
| 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. |
