The exact origins of the process of glass making are unsure

It is thought that it first appeared in Mesopotamia about 3000 years B.C. probably as a result of experimenting with glazes for pottery and first used as an alternative to precious gemstones as it could be coloured and cut.
 
Glass reached Egypt around 1540 B.C. and By Roman times glass was being blown in large quantities to form containers for liquids and for drinking vessels. Some beautiful pieces were being made in early times using coloured glass, trailed decoration even double-walled pieces containing gold leaf decoration and by the first few centuries B.C. the millefiore style had been invented. Some of the greatest pieces of Roman glass are the cameo cut examples such as the Portland Vase from the end of the first century B.C.
Glass was produced in the Islamic Kingdom from the seventh century where they continued using similar techniques to the Romans.
 
The range of antique glass for sale is amazing and there is a style, section or specific area to suit every antique glass collector.

Antique Glass.

Art Deco Brooch by Rene LaliqueGlass has been around for centuries and has basically remained unchanged with only the production methods becoming more efficient and glass quality becoming better and better.

However, modern glass just doesn't have the wonderful handmade feel of antique glass, especially the beautiful tactile Georgian Glass of the eigtheenth century.

Any type of antique glass, though, is a beautiful thing to collect and the diversity and range of glass items is absolutely staggering and almost impossible to fully comprehend. So choose wisely if you intend to start a glass collection and ensure you choose a type and style of glass that you are really passionate about.
