Ancient Inspired Glassware

From the shores of ancient Syria to Egypt under the New Kingdom to the Aegean Islands, the Levant region was home to the first centers of pioneering glassmaking. Legend purports that Phoenician merchants encamped on the sea made fire with saltpetre blocks which, when melted and mixed with the sandy ground, gave birth to this new material. Precious bottles and amphorae in translucent blue-green, glowing amber, and emerald distinguish glass of the ancient period. After the Arab conquest in the 7th century, Islamic artisans expanded their virtuosity, producing sophisticated designs that were later mimicked by European trade partners, particularly the Venetians.
