Hebron glass (Arabic: زجاج الخليل, zajaj al-Khalili ) refers to glass produced in Hebron as part of a flourishing art industry established in the city during Roman rule in Palestine, but its origin goes back to the older Phoenician glass industry.[1][2] The Old City of Hebron still contains a quarter named the "Glass-Blower Quarter" (Haret Kezazin, Arabic: حارة القزازين) and Hebron glass continues to serve as a tourist attraction for the city.
Traditionally, the glass was melted using local raw materials, including sand from neighbouring villages, sodium carbonate (from the Dead Sea),[3] and coloring additives such as iron oxide and copper oxide. Nowadays, recycled glass is often used instead. Glass production in Hebron is a family trade, the secrets of which have been preserved and passed down by a few Palestinian families who operate the glass factories located just outside the city.[2][4] The products made include glass jewellery, such as beads, bracelets, and rings,[5] as well as stained glass windows, and glass lamps. However, due to the Palestinian–Israeli conflict, glass production has suffered a decline.[4]
