SInce glassblowing was such a fast was to produce artisan glass the Roman Glass industry exploded and an excess of glass tools, pottery, decorations and various other items were made and sold in Roman markets and traded across the world. Roman Glass production reached its peak in the 2nd Century AD. Roman Glass was being used for windows and was being dyed in various colors like blue and green.
