History of glass
The history of glass-making dates back to at least 3,600 BC in Mesopotamia, however some claim they
may have been producing copies of glass objects from Egypt.[1] Other archaeological evidence suggests
that the first true glass was made in coastal north Syria, Mesopotamia or Egypt.
"The tradition is that a merchant ship laden with nitrum being moored at this place, the merchants were
preparing their meal on the beach, and not having stones to prop up their pots, they used lumps of nitrum
from the ship, which fused and mixed with the sands of the shore, and there flowed streams of a new
translucent liquid, and thus was the origin of glass.

History by culture
Iran
The first Persian glass comes in the form of beads dating to the late Bronze Age (1600 BC), and was
discovered during the explorations of Dinkhah Tepe in Iranian Azerbaijan by Charles Burney. Glass tubes
were discovered by French archaeologists at Chogha Zanbil, belonging to the middle Elamite period.
Mosaic glass cups have also been found at Teppe Hasanlu and Marlik Tepe in northern Iran, dating to the
Iron Age. These cups resembles ones from Mesopotamia, as do cups found in Susa during the late Elamite
period.
Glass tubes containing kohl have also been found in Iranian Azerbaijan and Kurdistan Province, belonging
to the Achaemenid period. During this time, glass vessels were usually plain and colorless. B
y the Seleucid and late Parthian era, Greek and Roman techniques were prevalent. During
the Sasanian period, glass vessels were decorated with local motifs.

India
Evidence of glass during the chalcolithic has been found in Hastinapur, India. The earliest glass item from
the Indus Valley Civilization is a brown glass bead found at Harappa, dating to 1700 BC. This makes it the
earliest evidence of glass in South Asia. Glass discovered from later sites dating from 600 to 300 BC
displays common colors
.
Texts such as the Shatapatha Brahmana and Vinaya Pitaka mention glass, implying they could have been
known in India during the early first millennium BC. Glass objects have also been found
at Beed, Sirkap and Sirsukh, all dating to around the 5th century BC. However, the first unmistakable
evidence for widespread glass usage comes from the ruins of Taxila (3rd century BC), where bangles,
beads, small vessels, and tiles were discovered in large quantities. These glassmaking techniques may
have been transmitted from cultures in Western Asia.

CHINA
Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), the use of glass diversified. The introduction of glass casting in this period
encouraged the production of moulded objects, such as bi disks and other ritual objects. Chinese glass
objects from the Warring States and Han period vary greatly in chemical composition from the imported
glass objects. The glasses from this period contain high levels of barium oxide and lead, distinguishing
them from the soda-lime-silica glasses of Western Asia and Mesopotamia. At the end of the Han
Dynasty (AD 220), the lead-barium glass tradition declined, with glass production only resuming during the
4th and 5th centuries AD. Literary sources also mention the manufacture of glass during the 5th century
