Bent glass came into architectural use when it was realized that bent glass has many advantages than traditional flat glass. The glass in the manufacturing line always comes as a flat sheet but they can be bent according to the requirement. This glass is also known as curved glass and used mostly in automobiles (like back-lights, windshields as they are curved), commercial buildings, homes, glass-domes, revolving-door handles, elevator, display-cases and plenty of different applications.

Now, let’s see the earliest history of glass. It dates back to more than 4000 years ago in Mesopotamia where articles made of glass were used. Although, it is believed that they copied glass-objects from Egypt from where glass products originated. Although, there are archaeological evidences that proved that first glass products were made in northern part of Syria, Egypt or Mesopotamia. We can find earliest glass objects were beads and believed that they were actually by-products of metal work or by-products of faience.
Glass was naturally produced from volcanic glass obsidian and were used in the Stone-Age period to make tools like cutting glass and were also traded to different places. Glass was used by people in the Anglo-Saxon age to manufacture beads, vessels, jewelry and windows.
We can find glass use in European history when Romans started using glass in their architecture and clear glass was invented around AD 100 in Alexandria. Glass industry established in Venice at the end of 13th Century during the period of Crusades.
In the United States, the evidence of glass work has been found in Jamestown (an island in Virginia). Glass panes were produced there in 1608 but most of the glass products were imported from England.
