These Ancient Glass pieces are more than 2, 150 years old, dating back to 350-150 B.C. They originated during the era of the Bactrian Kingdom of the North Central Asia. The Bactrian Kingdom was the heart of Asia during its peak. During this time the kingdom possessed great wealth and knowledge as one of the major trading centers of the Ancient World. Bactrians were centuries ahead of their time as a modern and innovative society, with accomplishments in industry, philosophy, human awareness and art. These ancient glass pieces were once beads, jars, cups, vases, perfume containers and decorative tiles.
