While hearing of wine goblets and being asked what they are may lead you to draw a question mark in your mind, there’s a very good chance that you’ve seen them around. Despite the fact that these were first used over 1,500 years ago, they remain very popular today.
The history of glass windows is something that dates back further than you may expect. Although glass in its natural form has been around since the dawn of time, man-made glass appeared around 3500 B. C. In Mesopotamia. At this time glass was mainly used for decorative purposes and evolved into making vessels out of the substance.
The history of glass windows made its original journey when the Romans in 100 AD used glass in villas and buildings where the prestigious were housed. The glass produced by the Romans has been found across Europe, in the Mediterranean, and in China. German Craftsmen in the eleventh century discovered that by taking small pieces of glass and putting them together with lead they could create larger more intricate designs, now known as stained glass.
