European Glass from
The Glass Encyclopedia
A short explanation of European Glass:Glassmaking skills were spread thoughout Europe by the Romans some two thousand years ago. There was a decline in glassmaking when the Roman Empire fell,and it did not pick up again until the Middle Ages.
Over the past 500 years there have been major centres of glass-making in Italy, Spain, Bohemia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and England. More recently the Scandinavian countries have specialised in glass, and almost every country in Europe has at least one famous glassworks.
