專家說明

The first glass vessels ever produced, all by the core-form method, were made in northern Mesopotamia in the late 16th and early 15th centuries B.C. Early examples have been found at Nuzi, Tel al-Fakhar, Tel al-Rimah, Tel Brak, Assur, and Nineveh, all sites that were within the control or sphere of influence of the Hurrians. Other early vessels have been found at Atchana in northern Syria, which are thought to be imports from northern Mesopotamia. For a vessel of similar shape and decoration see fig. 17 in Grose, Early Ancient Glass.
