Burmese is a uranium glass. The formula to produce Burmese Glass contains uranium oxide with tincture of gold added.[1] The uranium oxide produced the inherent soft yellow color of Burmese glass. Because of the added gold, the characteristic pink blush of color of Burmese was fashioned by re-heating the object in the furnace (the "Glory Hole").[further explanation needed] The length of time in the furnace will determine the intensity of the color. Strangely, if the object is subjected to the heat again, it will return to the original yellow color.
This fairy lamp is retailer in pristine condition and has a spectacular glow under ultraviolet light.
