These are chiefly covered with beautiful blue or green, and groups of flowers or designs are traced in black. Glass beads and other orna- ments made of that substance, skillfully manufactured and beautifully colored, have been found adorning mummies, which are known to be upward of three thousand years old.
It is certain that Tyre, Sidon, and Alexandria, were long celebrated for their glass, and furnished the greater propor- tion of that used at Rome. Under the Roman Empire the Egyptians still ...preserved their superiority in the art of glass- making, and it is said that Aurelian caused them to pay their tribute in that manufacture. Adrian mentions that he had received drinking-glasses of various colors from a priest of a famous temple in Egypt, and gives instructions that they are not to be used but on the greatest occasions, and on the most solemn feast days. To these places the art was exclusively confined for some centuries, and was an article of luxury, being chiefly in the form of urns or drinking-cups of the most elaborate workmanship, and exquisitely embel- lished with raised, chased, or ornamented figures.
