Description: Flat blue glass excavated from the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King, Guangzhou. Exhibit info: "This is the earliest produced flat blue glass ever found in China. The glass contained 33 percent lead and 12 percent barium. Judging from the components, which are quite different from glass made in Egypt, we know they were natively produced in China."
