GLASS
The earliest man-made glass objects, mainly non-transparent glass beads, are thought to date back to around 3500 BC, with finds in Egypt and Eastern Mesopotamia.
The discovery of glass may have been coincidental, with calciferous sand finding its way into an overheated kiln and combining with soda to form a coloured glaze on the ceramics. It was then, above all, Phoenician merchants and sailors who spread this new art along the coasts of the Mediterranean.
Today, the craftsmen of BODRUM GLASS ® create lively colours from glass and fish, symbolising purity, productivity, fertility, good luck and transformation. All pieces are hand made, therefore unique and valuable.
