It is a thin and brittle Art Glass
blending from salmon pink at the top to canary
yellow at the bottom. It was created by adding
small amounts of uranium oxide, gold, feldspar
and fluorspar to the batch. Mold and free-blown
pieces turned a sulphur yellow color. When
reheating the top portion, a delicate shade
of pink developed. It can have a satin finish
or a Glossy finish. If viewed with a black light
it has a green fluorescence to it.
