But their special feature was that they had an unusual brilliance and had a magnificent design. Also it was the Egyptians who began to use glass in decorations. This material made it possible to create new styles of products. And there were also new technologies that often were a combination of two old ones.

Products, especially expensive because of their fragility, were produced mainly in the east, particularly in Alexandria. They were sometimes exported very far.
