The discovery that glass can be blown occurred sometime before the middle of the 1st century AD. Soon afterwards, the blowpipe was invented. The oldest blown glass was free blown; then another technique emerged which gave the object an exact shape: glass blowing into a mold. In the 1st century AD, the mold-blown vessels are produced in such quantities and in such a variety of shapes and colors that they greatly surpass production in the later period. By blowing glass into a mold, not only tableware was made but also small vessels used for scented ointments and especially perfume oils, which is also the case for a small vessel from the collection of the National Museum H10–2940 (figs. 1–2). The oldest janiform vessel, dating from the second half of the 1st century AD, was found in Vigorovea in northern Italy; this type was made until the 4th century AD. The small bottle from the National Museum comes from a very worn mold, so it can be dated only approximately, but based on similarities with other vessels it was probably made in the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

Research on more than 900 fragments of medieval stained glass from different places and periods (from the 12th to the 16th c.) gives grounds for a discussion of select issues connected with research methodology and interpretation of results. Topical issues concern 19th c. restoration of stained glass windows and their modern interpretation, research on particular panels, windows and sets of windows, as well as coloured glass, in the lattermost case especially red glass and 12th c. blue glass produced from Roman tesserae.
