Summary[edit]

Description
English: This industry goes back to the Canaanites of the Syrian coast, the “Phoenicians,” who worked to transfer it across the Mediterranean to Europe.

In the ninth century BC, centers for the manufacture of glass appeared in Syria and Iraq, after which the process of glass blowing was achieved on the Syrian coasts. It flourished in the Islamic era, especially in Damascus, and continued manually to spread in most regions.

In light of the war, the craft of “hand blowing glass” has become a Syrian cultural element that is threatened with extinction.
العربية: هذه الصناعة تعود إلى كنعانيي الساحل السوري “الفينيقيين” الذين عملوا على نقلها عبر البحر الأبيض المتوسط إلى أوروبا.

وفي القرن التاسع قبل الميلاد ظهرت في سورية والعراق مراكز لصناعة الزجاج، وتم بعدها التوصل إلى عملية نفخ الزجاج في السواحل السورية، وازدهرت في العصر الإسلامي وخاصة في دمشق، واستمرت يدوياً لتنتشر في معظم المناطق.

وفي ظل الحرب باتت حرفة “نفخ الزجاج يدوياً” عنصراً ثقافياً سورياً مهدداً بالاندثار.
