Retry Correct Incorrect According to My Modern Met, stained glass emerged as early as the days of the Roman Empire, as evidenced by the Lycurgus Cup from the 4th Century. Stained glass is made by adding metallic oxides while the glass is manufactured to produce different colors. For instance, adding copper oxides to glass in its molten stage tends to produce blue and green hues.
