The
Egyptian Quartz Faience Bowl from the 13th Dynasty(1,600 B.C.E.
0r nearly 4,000 years old!). Faience is the oldest artificial substance,
first made in Egypt 5,500 years ago, a millennium before glass
was invented. It has a core of powdered quartz particles that
are fused to each other with heat (much like the crystal singing
bowls of today!). Over the core is a glaze, applied in one of several
different ways. This bowl is from the Myers Museum Collection at
Eton College. |
The
