I just read the article on glass by Mag Alef. It was very interesting and informative. Thanks for posting the link to it.

When we toured Herculaneum in Italy (destroyed along with Pompeii when Vesuvius erupted), we saw the remains of wealthy Roman villas along the sea shore that had glass windows as well as frescoes painted on their walls that showed glass vases and dishes. It was fascinating.

I also like seeing ancient glass in museums that has changed color during the time it was buried in the ground.

Just a super job! Don't you wish you could go back & take a look at the beginnings of this great technology?

The effects of chemicals on colors must have seemed so magical. Wait a minute...it's still pretty amazing.
