While Natural Glass has been used since the stone age, the earliest man-made glass objects, which were mainly glass beads, date to around 3500 BC, and are found in Egypt and Mesopotamia.

However the oldest glass vases date back to the the 16th century, Mesopotamia. About that time in Egypt, Mycenae, China and North Tyrol the manufacturing of "hollow" glass was occurring.

(Much later, blown glass was invented, but that was not seen until around 27BC-AD 14.)

Was glass created during the middle ages?

Glass was certainly created in the medieval period, but it was definitely not invented then. The ancient Egyptians made a type of glass (faience) and the Romans got glass-making techniques from the Hellenistic culture. At the fall of the Roman Empire the manufacture of glass ceased in most of Europe, only to start again during the 12th century (in the middle ages).
