AvvaRae Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 1846 from what I read is earliest record with glass . Process was This tool that resembled a pair of tongs w/ a small cup on one end and a slicing device on the other. A molten glass rod would be forcefully inserted into the cup, & the worker would then twist the cup, which would help form the sphere of the marble. Squeezing the tongs shut sliced off the rest of the glass. Etc Venice or Germany for origin and Marble is a German based word .. so toss up 🤷🏻♀️ and then of course the first patent 1900 Martin Frederick Christensen (All from stuff I've read) I'm sure someone knows wayyyyy more on here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
