The sands used to manufacture ancient glass contained manganese and iron ore  impurities which over centuries gives unique colours.

The sands also contained sulphurs and glass blowers added minerals to colour enhance these glass vessels.

They added red by mixing copper, and lead

    Quick shipping with FedEx to the US. It was well packaged. The one I received did have a small crack and chip in the lip, but stuff like that is expected with a natural material like this. I'm happy with my purchase.
