Herati in Afghanistan is the last place glass is produced according to ancient techniques. Our vivid blue, green and brown glassware comes from Herat in western Afghanistan. The hand-blown glass is still made as it has been for generations, with the glass heated in a basic clay furnace. The different colours are made by adding different chemicals to the molten glass.
