Don't think so. It looks like the colour has been applied to clear glass when I zoom in. It also looks very modern. Amberina starts life as amber glass. Reheating then usually turns the part that was reheated a rich red, not a pink as here, though I suppose paler shades are possible if less colorant is used.
