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. Fenton introduced Burmese in 1970 and
continues to produce it. This beautiful book includes 719 color
photographs of fine examples from Fenton's General Catalog,
Connoisseur Collection, Supplements, Gift Shop, QVC, and Special
Orders. They are organized by the year of their introduction. The
major glass workers and decorators are also featured. Each caption
has a ware number, size, year of production, and price.
