Amber glass

Coloured glasses produced by adding various sulphur compounds in conjunction with carbon to produce a range of amber colors. Amber glasses are often used for bottles and other containers. Ambers are usually reduction colors. However in an oxidising atmosphere, iron oxide with manganese oxide, and selenium (for lead crystal glass) will also produce amber glass.
