Best Answer

Somewhere in the near east around 6 or 8 thousand years ago.

Babylonians and Egyptians were using the stuff (as beads and rods) 5000 yrs ago. According to Pliny the Elder, Phoenician traders were the first to stumble upon glass manufacturing techniques at the site of the Belus River. now called the Na'aman River near Acre.
