| Abstract | ||||
| The glass industry is considered one of the most important features of the traditional Egyptian handicraft industries, especially what bears the ancient Egyptian heritage, because this heritage has established the foundations and principles of many modern glass technologies such as casting techniques and techniques for reforming glass free, in addition to the aesthetic and heritage values it bears distinctive industries that qualify them for Small heritage. In light of globalization and international agreements and the conquest of Egyptian markets with international glass products that are not commensurate with the Egyptian thought and heritage, there have been no serious scientific attempts to benefit from the ancient Egyptian glass industry, technically and aesthetically, and this is what the research focused on how to revive this heritage, which is distinguished by innovative glass techniques and methods by forming For traditional glass products such as charms, amulets and utensils, which suit the level of small craftsmanship and reach a high level of quality that is competitive in the global market. From here, the research problem arose in the need to revive the ancient Egyptian glass industry heritage with innovative techniques for heritage glass products suitable for small heritage industries, leading to the research goal of creating modern technical methods and methods using glass pastes to form glass products to revive the ancient Egyptian glass industry heritage, and for which research appears in the ancient Egyptian glass industry. With the ancient Egyptian glass industry heritage to compete not only at the local Egyptian level but also at the global level, the research assumes that by studying and analysing the techniques of the ancient Egyptian glass industry and taking advantage of the glass paste forming techniques that were reached in previous research. 2 Technological methods and methods for forming pastes can be devised Glassware carrying the ancient Egyptian glass heritage, such as amulets, medallions and utensils, which are suitable for small traditional crafts industries. The research has reached some results, including: The analysis of the forms and methods of production of ancient Egyptian glass products through historical development can be used in devising technical methods and methods of forming with glass pastes to form amulets, inlays and utensils | ||||
