Faience statuettes of Isis and Horus (top) and Taweret (bottom).
Ptolemaic Egypt, 332–30 B.C.
Early blown-glass vase
Egypt, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, ca. 1390–1353 B.C., reign of Amenhotep III. Found at the Palace of Amenhotep III, Malqata, Thebes, MMA excavations 1911-12.
Height: 10 cm (3 7/8 in)
This core-formed glass vase was assembled from fragments found at the palace of Amenhotep III at Malqata during the Museum’s excavations at the site. A large amount of waste glass as well as glass rods and other basic materials for making glass were also discovered, suggesting that glass was being manufactured nearby. By the reign of Amenhotep III, Egyptian artists had mastered the art of glass-making which had come to Egypt only a few generations earlier from the Near East where it was developed (see 26.7.1175).

Drinking Cup of Glassy Faience (4″ high)
Egypt, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, reign of Thutmose III, ca. 1479–1425 B.C.. Found at Thebes, Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud,Tomb of the 3 Foreign Wives of Thutmose III.
This jar was probably imported from western Asia and may have been brought to Egypt by one of the foreign wives of Thutmose III as part of her dowry. The form, which has a button-shaped base now masked by gold leaf over plaster restoration, has a long history in Mesopotamia. Fragments of glassy faience vessels with a similar variegated pattern have been found at the site of Nuzi (modern Yorgan Tepe, Iraq), which flourished in the kingdom of Mitanni during the fifteenth and fourteenth centuries B.C. Glass making appears to have originated in Mesopotamia and been imported into Egypt early in Dynasty 18. Egyptian artisans had been making faience, a substance related to glass, for more than a thousand years and they quickly mastered the art of glassmaking as well.

Hiroshi Shinno’s Dreamy Insect Sculptures.
Kyoto-based artist Hiroshi Shinno’s dreamy insect sculptures are downright amazing. The magical works are influenced by organic materials, such as leaves and flowers which Shinno painstakingly creates from resin, then paints them in outlandish colors.
