<\/a><\/p>\nAn important evolution can be found during the Egyptian Epoch, with the introduction of\u00a0clay artifacts. They already knew the glass as a material but they had not ever tried to work with it, so as such they were using just clay utensils at this time. But in saying that the pharaohs and hierarchy would have been using silver and gold.<\/p>\n
During the Roman Period, it was possible to find some glass cups, but they were still very unusual, due to its fragility and, as a consequence, to its high price. To break a glass was meant a sign of misfortune, and for this reason, people preferred anyway the safer wooden or metal glasses.<\/p>\n The Northern Folks, which occupied the Roman territories, used to use carved horn or leather canteen for their beverages.<\/p>\n The Phoenicians was the community which discovered \u00a0fiberglass, to which they began to work it and to export for the first time the glasses, made by this transparent material<\/p>\n After this moment, the glass became even more usual worldwide and this object was progressively refined in shape over the decades. During the sixth century, mainly in Venice the bottom of the glass became convex, and glass’ bowls and goblets were designed for the first time. An important trait of the venetian manufacture was the hand-made decoration, which was so appreciated, eventually reaching also the Netherlands, Germany Spain and France. \u00a0Of utmost importance, the “Murano Glass” technique was invented.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
