Origin: United States (Mount Washington Glass Company or Pairpoint)
Historical significance: The 'Burmese' glass is famous for its unique color transition, shifting from pale yellow to delicate pink. It was particularly admired by Queen Victoria, which greatly contributed to its worldwide popularity during the Victorian era.
The Burmese glass contains a small amount of uranium, which makes it glow with a lemon-green tint under ultraviolet (black) light.
