Description

A type of glassware prepared by a skilled glassmaker. Blown glass is prepared by placing a molten glass ball on the end of a metal pipe then air is blown through the pipe into the glass to form a hollow, shaped vessel. Early glassblowing techniques were probably developed in Syria during the 1st century BC.
