SUMMARY:The History of Natural and Manmade Glass
DESCRIPTION:\nGlass is a naturally formed material due to volcanic activity, lightning strikes and meteorite impacts and has been used by man to make tools, jewellery and weapons for many thousands of years.\n\n\n\nSince it was discovered how to manufacture glass it was first used as a simple decorative material, then to produce elegant containers and tableware and latterly has been developed into a highly sophisticated material utilised in construction, space exploration and in many areas of scientific and technological discovery, advancement and experimentation.\n\n\n\nThe lecture will endeavour to explain, in simple terms and with many illustrations, how the manufacture of glass has developed over the years since it was first accidentally produced by Phoenician traders on the beaches of north Syria.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Portland Vase, perhaps from Rome, Italy, ca. 5-25 CE. The general subject of the vase is love and marriage with a mythological theme. It may have been made as a wedding gift. Cut cameo glass, h. 24 cm. diam. 17.7 cm. Inv. GR 1945.9-27.1 (Gems 4036).\n\nImage licenced to Andrew Shapira ARION JOURNAL by Andrew Shapira\nUsage :  – 3000 X 3000 pixels (Letter Size, A4) \n© © The Trustees of the British Museum / Art Resource\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
