Glass has been in use from SO re-
mote period of antiquity and has so
intimately associated itself with the
progress of civilization, that it is not
surprising to find improvements in

sity for them has arisen. From the
paintings found by Wilkinson at
Beni-Hassan it appears that the art
of glass-blowing was known at least
5000 years ago. Sometimes new pro-
cesses in dealing with the raw mate
