The earliest vitreous materials in Egypt date to c.4000 BC although the production of glass, faience, frit or 'Egyptian blue' does not really take off until the 18th dynasty. Andrew Shortland combines descriptions of various objects made from vitreous materials with an analysis of the processes and techniques used in their production.
