These were a super win on eBay AU - as Mt Washington Burmese glass rarely shows up for sale in Australia. It's long been a goal of mine to get an example, & it's great to have been able to achieve it. They are going to join a selection of Burmese glass by other makers such as Thomas Webb & Sons, Fenton, Gibson, & Welz.
As Mt Washington was the original maker of Burmese glass it rounds off my collection perfectly to have these.
They were sold as a pair of scent bottles but I believe them to be a salt & pepper set that are missing their caps. They measure 9.5 cm tall.
An identical pair is pictured on the cover of the reference book on Mt Washington Art Glass, as part of a cruet set.
Slight variance in the shades of pink between the two. Intense glow under UV light.
An excellent buy, rather rare round this neck of the woods too!
A very tasty acquisition, IronLace - I love Victorian Burmese items!
Many thanks, Bernard!
Thanks also, Russell117!

Thanks so much, vintagelamp!
