Burmese glass was developed by Frederick Shirley at the Mt. Washington Glass Works in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1885. It is a two-toned glass, shading from peach to yellow. Some pieces have a pattern mold design. A few Burmese pieces were decorated with pictures or coralene (glass beads) or applied glass flowers of colored Burmese glass. Other factories, Thomas Webb, Mt. Washington, Gunderson and Fenton made similar glass also called Burmese. Two-toned glass was very popular in the 1880s. Related items may be listed in the Fenton category, the Gunderson category, and under Webb Burmese.
