The written sources, the  typology and the recent analyses of the chemical composition allow to  draw first picture of the evolution of their features throughout the  seven centuries of Islamic occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. This  lecture with a multidisciplinary perspective will present the current  State of knowledge on uses, technology and commercialisation of glass in  al-Andalus from the earliest stages, dominated by imports from the  East, through the appearance of local production around the 11th century  and until its extinction after the Christian conquest of Granada at the  end of the 15th century.
