Yes, there definitely were fireworks in the Elizabethan period. There were fireworks for Queen Elizabeth herself, in fact at one event for the Queen at Kennilworth Castle, one Italian pyrotechnician had to be "dissuaded" from firing live cats and dogs from his "machines" a technique that has definitely been superseded by modern technology. In fact fireworks haven't changed much in general terms in the 1000 or so years since they were invented in the Far East. The advances that HAVE been made are in safety, reliability and some refinements of effects. Most modern material would be very recogniseable to an Elizabethan Pyrotechnician.
