• Glass from Fusṭāṭ (urban settlement) - some characteristics:

– 7th–8th centuries:
- manufacturing techniques and chemical composition: continuity from the late Roman Period: natron as an alkali source,
- decoration: lustre-painted, pinched, applied.

– 9th–11th centuries:
- change to plant ash as an alkali source,
- development of new, original shapes,
- previous manufacturing styles were further developed; cut decoration, influenced by Sasanian glass, created its own Islamic style; development of fine colourless, transparent glass.

– 12th–14th centuries:
- beginning of mass production of low quality glass,
- appearance of enamel-decorated glass,
