Small Glass Ewer. Green Glass (11th Century) Free-blown from green glass in 11th-century Iran. Artisans used iron blowpipes to inflate the molten glass, shaping the pear-shaped body and elongated spout before it cooled. The green hue comes from naturally occurring iron impurities in the local sand mixture.

Instead of laboriously carving the cold surface like hardstone, the glassmaker wrapped molten glass threads around the hot exterior to mimic luxury relief carvings. Horizontal glass bands reinforce the structure at the neck and waist. Loc. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dim. Height 14.6 cm (5¾ in), Diameter 7.3 cm (2⅞ in)
