C. and the first examples of which can be seen in a great number places from Mesopotamia to Egypt, Mediterranean to Anatolia, has had an important place in almost every part of our lives from technical needs to daily use, from luxurious consumer goods to industrial products. Glass is an artifact and it can be found in nature as obsidian and rock crystal/natural quartz (pebble). Rock crystal, also known as natural quartz, is almost colorless and semi transparent. Examples such as the lion’s head from the fourth quarter of 3000 B.C. found in Troy and the Hittite statue made in 13th and 14th centuries B.C. show that rock crystal has been used in Anatolia from very old times (Canav, 1985: 19). In line with the resources and the data obtained, leaving the primitive methods in processing glass with the discovery of glass blowing pipe in Syria in 50 B.C. is considered as the radical change used in glass processing. Antique glass products: Roman glass (100 B.C.–400 A.D.) other residential areas within Italy, England, France, Spain, Belgium, Balkans, Anatolia, North Africa, Cyprus, Syria, Alexandria and Roman Empire; Byzantine glass (5–15 A.D.), Eastern Mediterranean coastal areas that produced most advanced containers and ornaments as well as mosaic and plain glass with free blowing technique, Ottoman glass making which occured at the same time with the bright periods of Bohemian glass making in the 19th century, Beykoz style glasses with their unique technique and ornaments are all named according to their methods of processing and modeling with their periods. Ottoman art of glass brought out works which were called “Turkish Style” in Europe.

We do not have exact records and historical documents to give us a detailed information about the development of the Turkish art of glass-making by years. However, we know about the recent works of glass which can partly be documented. When we think about the traditional Turkish glass-making, we can see that there is a limited numbers of works and these works reflect the characteristics of the period they were produced in as a symbol of Ottoman culture and art.
