The history of glassmaking in India dates back to ancient times, with evidence of its presence found in archaeological excavations across the subcontinent. From brown glass beads unearthed at Harappa, dating back to 1700 BCE, to the widespread usage of glass in Taxila during the 3rd century BCE, India has a rich heritage of glass craftsmanship. Techniques of glass molding, decorating, and coloring evolved over centuries, influenced by contact with the Greco-Roman world and other cultures. The Satavahana period saw the production of composite glass objects, reflecting the ingenuity and mastery of Indian artisans in manipulating this versatile material. Today, the legacy of Indian glassmaking continues to thrive, blending tradition with innovation to produce exquisite works of art that captivate audiences worldwide.
