Ennion
Roman glassworker and first known maker of decorated mold-blown glass
Ennion was one of the most prominent glassworkers of Ancient Rome, active from about 1 to 50 CE.[1] He is famous for being the first known maker of decorated mold-blown glass, and for the exquisite quality of his work.[2]
Ennion branded his work by signing them.[2]
His works of art in glass (various vessels) were traded throughout the Mediterranean and were in great demand among the wealthy Romans. To date, only about fifty specimens have been preserved, which were found at various archeological sites from Spain to Israel.[3]
