The Mt. Washington Glass Company originated in 1837. Frederick Shirley the general manager of Mt. Washington invented the Burmese glass formula, a beautiful coloration of salmon blending into yellow, and patented it in 1885. In 1886 as a marketing tool he presented Queen Victoria and President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland with gifts of Burmese glass. Queen Victoria was so enamored with it that she ordered more pieces and at her request Mt. Washington gave Thomas Webb & Sons of England authorization to produce it. Per info on the Pairpoint (still in business today) website Mt. Washington merged with Pairpoint Manufacturing in 1880. Per the Corning Museum and Mt. Washington Pairpoint Glass Society they merged in the early 1890's. After the merger Mt. Washington still produced glass items as a division of Pairpoint until possibly 1915. But whatever the date some of the most wonderful American art glass items and if applicable their metal accessories were created and can still be found today. Some of these forms of art glass are Amberina, Peachblow, Cameo, Royal Flemish, Satin Glass, Coralene and two of my favorites, Crown Milano and Pairpoint Puffy Lamps.
