Drawings of the stones are on artifacts and drawings also on archaeological excavations. Roman glass a beautiful part of the history of 2000-ies during the Roman Empire. Roman glass is used in jewelry in Israel today are found in archaeological excavations in the land of Israel. Natural phenomenon that is buried in the glass many years it may have unique and beautiful colors we enjoy aqua today.Initially was in the Roman Empire, was used mainly for glass containers, and only for the rich. At this time the glass was made basic formation, casting, cutting and grinding. But progress since the invention of glass blowing and glass opened to the public in large numbers, a mass in a variety of shapes and forms. Due to the popularity of glass in ancient times, wish pearl sets today we have the privilege to use these beautiful and historic parts that make us the beauty of our jewelry. Ancient Israel because of its long-distance sand dunes and beaches, was one of the largest manufacturers of glass in the Roman Empire. These same sands helped preserve the glass through the centuries, shaping and hardening in the fine jewelry and was excavated. Today, the fragments in 2000 the old Roman glass, once part of the lip cup, glass or other container used in Israel to create beautiful jewelry that type of blue and green glass mixing the old excavation with silver or gold digging creates works of art and history, to wear with love.
Certificate of Authenticity for the Roman glass jewelry is available.
It is interesting to know some facts gathered during the history of glass and the history of Roman glass from different sources.
History of Glass
Glass sand (silica) is formed from soda (lye) and lime are melted at high temperatures. Color of glass, setting the atmosphere in the oven and adding some metal oxides on the glass "duty" (as cobalt for dark blue, opaque white tin, antimony, and manganese for the glass) are changed. The venerable legend perpetuated until the seventh century in the writings of Isidore of Seville is a suitable explanation for miraculous discovery of these elementary equipment - - - in fact, remarkable that was established in parts of Syria, Phoenicia called Marsh is close to Judea, around the base of the mountain. Caramel from Bellus River arises. . . sands, which are purified from the pollution of the stream. The story here is that the victims of [sodium carbonate] merchant ship wreck of soda when they were scattered on the shore of cooking and no stones in his hands rested their pots, they brought the ship soda. Sandy Beach was mixed with soda and transparent flow of burning liquid flowed even more: and that was the source of the glass (Isidore of Seville, Etymologies XVI.16 Translated by Charles Witka ..) This n Not surprisingly, Dass authorities thought Phoenicians as old as the birthplace of the glass used for the Syro-Palestinian region, in fact, an important center of glassmaking in antiquity with Egypt. It seems, however, "found" glass was not made in Phoenicia, and Mesopotamia. Archaeological research now places the first evidence of true glass there around 2500 BC First it was for beads, seals and architectural decoration.
were almost 1000 years passed before glass vessels are known to be made. Jars quickly in the second half of the second millennium BC They were popular not only popular in Mesopotamia and in Egypt and the Aegean Sea. The first ships were equipped training. Opaque dark glass was wrapped around a core of clay metal rod. Leather hot glass was developed with the tools to shape its appearance. Growing hot filament glass were produced on the surface of the soil for the garland too strong, and often "pulled". The bank was marvered surface (ie, rolled on smooth, flat surface to be produced to complete the level). Finally, it is slowly cooled to Lehmkerndichtung a ship scrapping hardened. Glass, as a rule, originally developed for ceramics, metal and stone vessels are based imitation. A little later, the casting process was developed, with shards of glass or fused glass were packed or pressed into shape, and then fused. After the boat was shape annealed (slowly in a special chamber of the glass furnace cooling), it is often cut and polished in order to clarify the rim and all the other corners and edges. A typical kind of shape for the courts late Roman and early Hellenistic (150 -50 BC) was the so-called shell-shaped column. Here, the outer edges emanate from the base, stopping abruptly near the edges are smooth edges on the perimeter to allow. This species is widespread and there is evidence of a free and rapid exchange of ideas in the field of glass in the Greater Mediterranean. Website Tel ANAFA in Israel is a small village in Upper Galilee. For ten seasons, 1968-1986 fieldwork, Saul Weinberg and his successor Herbert Sharon led the discovery of a small village in the Hellenistic and Roman.
In Tel-ANAFA I, Herbert presents architecture and sequence stratigraphy (text and illustrations by FASC. I Locus Summary and pots at CHS. 1 and 2, FASC. II). The collection includes studies of other scholars of the geological structure of the site, stamped amphora handles, coins, and vertebrate fauna, and a Tyrian sealing. Tel ANAFA II consecrated the Hellenistic and Roman pottery. Future volume (II, II) is to complete the series with the publication of pre-Hellenistic pottery and Islamic lamps, glass, metalwork, stucco, stone tools and paleobotanical remains. (Last updated jointly by the University of Michigan and Missouri) Tel ANAFA has a critical time information contained in the shells of the Roman period. Glass containers were originally only for the rich and the relatively small size. They were made the main formation, casting, cutting and grinding. The invention of glass blowing from 50 BC, glass containers for the general public in large quantities, mass-produced in various forms, and thus put in the old glass in the range of modern sensors, however modestly. Now you can own a Roman glass bowl or drink from glass containers Roman or antique jewelry to wear, where the glass is widely used. In 63 BC Romans conquered the Syro-Palestinian region. They brought with them to the glass in Rome.Soon, the first transparent glass discs were produced in Rome. Vitrum word, which means glass in Latin language.Rome policy, military and economic dominanace in the Mediterranean is an important factor in attracting skilled craftsmen set up workshops in the city, but no less important is that the development of the industry declined by about the invention of the Roman glassware. The new technique has led artisans to create new and unique forms, examples, there are bottles and bottles, walking shoes, casks of wine, fruit shape, and hats and animals. Some of the casting mold made of glass and ceramics technology combine to create a bubble on the form itself, and blow molding. Other innovations and stylistic changes, the continuing use of casting and outdoors at various open and closed forms, which can then be cut or faceted cut to create any number of patterns and designs.
Core-formed glass containers and molded products were initially imported from the fifteenth century BC, but only in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and to a lesser extent, made on the Italian peninsula in the middle of the first millennium BC During the Roman Republic (509-27 BC), these vessels were used as food or as a container for a precious oils, perfumes and medicines at the same time, Etruria (modern Tuscany) and Magna Graecia (region in southern Italy, including the current campaign, Puglia, Calabria and Sicily). However, there are a few items, like sunglasses in the context of central Italy and Rome, it is not clear until the middle of the first century BC reasons for this, but we can assume that Roman glass industry has grown from almost nothing, and is designed for full repayment over several generations in the first half of the first century AD
likely to rise in Rome, the dominant force politically, militarily and economically in the Mediterranean was an important factor in attracting skilled craftsmen to create a seminar in the city, but no less important is the fact that the establishment of Roman industrial activity at the time of the invention glassware. This invention revolutionized the production of antique glass and, consequently, on an equal footing with other major industries such as ceramics and metal products (eg, 20.49.2-12). Similarly, glass-blowing artisans allows a greater variety of shapes to make than in the past. In combination with the inherent appeal of glass, it is not porous, translucent (not transparent), odorless, and adaptability urged people to change their habits and preferences, so that, akoya wish pearl for example, a cup of rapidly replacing glass ceramic equivalents.
In fact, the production of some types of local Italian clay cups, bowls, cups and passed through the era of Augustus, and by the mid first century AD, stopped altogether.However, and hand blown glass came to dominate Roman glass production, it does not exclude all cast glass. Especially in the first half of the first century AD, a lot of Roman glass was made by casting, the shape and decoration of early Roman occupation courts show a strong Hellenistic influence. The glass industry owes much to Roman glass, which is the Mediterranean was first developed skills and techniques, the glass is so popular that all archaeological objects, not only throughout the Roman Empire, but in the lands far beyond its borders.
Cast glass
Although the main was formed from the glass industry is dominated by the Greek world, casting techniques have played an important role in the development of glass in the ninth fourth century BC Cast glass produces two main ways through the wax and the free piston, and various forms. The most common method of Roman glass for the most open cups and bowls used in the first century BC, the technique of crisis Hellenistic glass (81.10.243) on the convex "former". However, different methods of cutting and molding used repeatedly called for a popular style and preference. The Romans adopted and adapted in various colors and designs systems of the Hellenistic tradition of glass, the implementation of these plans as a network form of glass and gold of the new. Obviously the Roman innovations in various types of fabrics and colors of glass mosaic small strips of glass, crystal and clear profiles, sawdust new generation of thin and colorless, like dishes from the beginning of a monochrome imperial period, around 20 AD This category of goods imported glass beads in one of the most popular design because it resembled the products of popular luxury items such as rock crystal, ceramic Arretium Augusta (10.210.37 such) and the bronze and silver utensils (as 20.49.2-12) contributes "chiefs and wealthy Roman society. In fact, it was just beautiful glass objects extruded continuously, even at this late period of the Flavian Trajan and Hadrian (96-138 AD), after casting the glass should be replaced as the dominant mode of production of glass early in the first century AD
Blown Glass
Sometimes around 1970 BC Jerusalem realized that someone, if you took a glass tube - stock for mass production of pearls - a tight end and the other does explode a glass bowl. Blow hard enough and long enough and you can make a small bottle. It was the most primitive in blown glass. It is possible that refinement is not the time of the experiment might go unnoticed. Several decades later, however, the introduction of separate torch with toolkit shovels and tongs of various sizes, you can blow and shape glass with much greater control and much more amateur.
New technology has revolutionized the Italian glass industry, stimulating a significant increase in the range of shapes and designs can produce glass workers. Glazier creativity is not bound by technical limitations laborious casting process as previously unprecedented flexibility and speed of a shot is allowed. These benefits have stimulated the rapid development of style and form, and testing of new technology to create new forms and unique craft, examples, there are bottles and bottles, walking shoes, wine barrels, fruit-shaped, and hats and animals. Some of the casting mold made of glass and ceramics technology combine to create a bubble on the form itself, akoya oyster and blow molding. Other innovations and stylistic changes, the continuing use of casting and outdoors at various open and closed forms, which can then be cut or faceted cut to create any number of patterns and designs.
But the potential of technology idea will come into play when the seeds are planted in the culture of promotion. Rome during the Republican era, in the days of the dictator Sulla and Julius Caesar, such promotion does not seem possible. In the Hellenistic world, well-established tradition of working with glass - fine ceramic products, technology, child free - you can get on a mixture of yarns in a tightly sealed container or glass on the deceleration of the workpiece to open these bubbles can not even compete. In the Roman world, however, the pottery is still the material of choice for most families, the fish plates on the bottle, and no one took the time to change it. Enter the Emperor Augustus. He said that he does not like foreigners, he looks at the significant number of them living in Rome around 10 BC as a possible cause of corruption of traditional values of Rome. If we interpret his subsequent actions, he wanted the Italian mainland on a lot more self-sufficient, if possible. Thus the Italian companies in some countries - most obviously, ceramics and textiles - were invited to develop. Craft glass processing adopted the Hellenistic world with great energy and skill. The old industrial revolution continues.
To move something, the Romans simply slaves hundreds of artisans in the eastern provinces to eliminate their homes and resettle them on the edge of the city of Rome is growing rapidly. potters were brought from Asia Minor, especially around the MA and placed on a working Arretium were Greek artists from Athens, Lyon and other cities moved to the center of Gaul, workers in the glass were laid out in the provinces of Syria, Judea and Aegyptus - probably the city of Sidon, Jerusalem, Alexandria - and put it in the shops in Naples, working Aquileia and the gates of Rome.
Was once a niche market for cookware period of Augustus. Like many ancient peoples, the Romans believed in an afterlife, which was an idealized version of their experience of the world. According to his agent, the family of each dead Roman had to provide furniture for the grave. These objects are included in the home - the plate of food, wine, and so on - but he also has a tradition that offers contain ghosts. The Roman Empire would have to put these proposals into bottles (unguentaria) silver or alabaster. Artisans East, who brought the art of glass blowing is now the general population offers an alternative to glass, to be sure, it's not as elegant or colorful as one would like, but everyone can afford. She skipped unguentarium without immediate success and long-term industry appear. Modern excavations have many cases where the pit was not detected only one or two, but dozens of them, all mass-produced, each for a few minutes, no more.
At the same time captured the imagination of people of their light transmission in glass. You could see the color of the wine into a cup or bottle, so even if it was closed - it is impossible to say on the terms of ceramics or bronze, silver or gold. Production of rose wine glasses at the time of Augustus, was actually a reduction of the ceramic, which is the traditional way of cutting.
