However, the ingenuity
of ancient artisans did not stop there. In time, they created
red, green, purple, white, yellow, and other colored glass, and
devised different types such as translucent and transparent
glass. They also realized marbled glass, mosaic glass with
flower and animal patterns and the faces of deities, gold
sandwich glass in which gold leaf is sandwiched between two
layers of glass, and other types with creative designs.
This exhibition presents precious glass materials from the
British Museum and will perhaps help us rediscover the spread of
rich colors and motifs achieved by ancient glass artisans.
Please come to see the ingenuity and skill that went into
creating these beautiful objects.
