Roman glass production developed from Hellenistic technical traditions, initially concentrating on intensely colored cast glass vessels. However, during the 1st century CE the glass industry underwent rapid technical growth that saw the introduction of glass blowing and the dominance of colorless or 'aqua' glasses. Production of raw glass was undertaken in geographically separate locations from the working of glass into finished vessels, and by the end of the 1st century, large-scale manufacturing resulted in the establishment of glass as a commonly available material in the Roman world.
