Ngemini eyayinelanga kudala, inqanawa enkulu yabarhwebi baseFenike yafika kwichweba loMlambo iBelus kunxweme loLwandle lweMeditera. Inqanawa yayilayishwe ngeekristale ezininzi zesoda yendalo. Ngokuqheleka kwe-ebb kunye nokuhamba kolwandle apha, abasebenzi babengaqinisekanga. Ubuchule. Inqanawa yatyhutyha yakufika kwindawo entle yentlabathi engekude nomlambo.
AmaFenike awayevaleleke enqanaweni asuka nje atsiba kwisikhephe esikhulu aza abalekela kulo mhlaba mhle wesanti. Intlabathi izele yintlabathi ethambileyo necolekileyo, kodwa akukho matye anokuxhasa imbiza. Omnye umntu ngequbuliso wakhumbula isoda yekristale yendalo kwisikhephe, ngoko wonke umntu wasebenza kunye, wahambisa inkitha yeziqwenga ukwakha imbiza, emva koko wabeka iinkuni zokubasa Bavuka. Isidlo sasisele silungile kungekudala. Xa babeqokelela izitya baza balungiselela ukubuyela enqanaweni, ngequbuliso bafumanisa into emangalisayo: Ndabona into emenyezelayo kwaye ikhazimla phezu kwesanti ephantsi kwembiza, eyayintle kakhulu. Wonke umntu wayengazi oku. Yintoni, ndacinga ukuba ndifumene ubutyebi, ngoko ndabubeka. Enyanisweni, xa umlilo upheka, ibloko yesoda exhasa imbiza yasabela ngokwekhemikhali kunye nesanti yequartz ephantsi kubushushu obuphezulu, isenza iglasi.
Emva kokuba amaFenike alumkileyo efumene le mfihlelo ngempazamo, akhawuleza afunda indlela yokuyenza. Baqala bavuselela isanti ye-quartz kunye nesoda yendalo kunye, emva koko bayinyibilikise kwisithando somlilo esikhethekileyo, emva koko benza iglasi ngobukhulu obukhulu. Amaso eglasi amancinci. La maso mahle akhawuleza athandwa ngabantu basemzini, yaye abanye abantu abazizityebi bada batshintshisa ngawo ngegolide nezacholo, yaye amaFenike azenzela ubutyebi.
Enyanisweni, i-Mesopotamians yayivelisa i-glassware elula ekuqaleni kwe-2000 BC, kwaye i-glassware yangempela yavela eYiputa ngo-1500 BC. Ukususela kwi-9th inkulungwane ye-BC, ukuveliswa kweglasi kuyaphumelela imihla ngemihla. Ngaphambi kwekhulu le-6 AD, kwakukho iifektri zeglasi eRhodes naseCyprus. Isixeko sase-Alexandria, esakhiwe ngo-332 BC, yayisisixeko esibalulekileyo sokuveliswa kweglasi ngelo xesha.
Ukusukela kwinkulungwane yesi-7 AD, amanye amazwe angama-Arabhu anje ngeMesopotamiya, iPersi, iJiphutha neSyria nawo achumile ekwenzeni iiglasi. Babekwazi ukusebenzisa iglasi ecacileyo okanye iglasi enemibala ukwenza izibane zemosque.
EYurophu, ukuveliswa kweglasi kwavela emva kwexesha. Ngaphambi kwenkulungwane ye-18, abantu baseYurophu bathenga izixhobo zeglasi ezikumgangatho ophezulu eVenice. Le meko yaba ngcono ngenkulungwane ye-18 yaseYurophu iRavenscroft yaqulunqa i-transparent Iglasi ye-aluminiyam yatshintsha ngokuthe ngcembe, kwaye ishishini lokuvelisa iglasi lakhula eYurophu.
