Burmese glass was originally produced with a shiny finish, but soon also became available in a soft matte finish. Burmese glass may be blown, blown molded, or press molded. These 2 tumblers were hand blown with a ground pontil...

This beautiful bowl was created by applying one or more layers of glass over a base color. A pattern was then cut through, exposing the base color. With this particular bowl, a 3/16" layer of white glass was applied to a 1/4" orange-red base. Thumbprint shaped areas were then cut away in three rows to expose the orange-red base color. These cuts appear to be hand made, as they all differ slightly from one another. This bowl is 5 3/8" tall...
