Glass ProductionContext
Glass slag was commonly thought to be a biproduct of the glass making process, being discarded. However, glass slag was actually recycled and re-used, often sold at lower rate, called a cullet. Since glass production centers were located in small geographic ranges, slag and the raw materials for making glass were also traded.Made/Created
