Summary:Glass has been a symbol of beauty since the day it was first discovered, It has managed to maintain its existence within a meaningful integrity of life, sometimes because of the visuals of aesthetics and sometimes because of the content it carries. Glass has been a part of our lives since the middle of the 3rd millennium BC with glass beads produced to make people look more attractive and impressive. In its thousands of years of adventure, glass has been used in everything from perfume containers to rituals, medicine, architecture has entered everyday vessels in every form that creativity allows. However, in the following period of time, it became more dangerous than ever before. Both technological developments and its suitability as a material enabled it to emerge as a grenade. In this article, the time period until the transformation of glass into the "humbara" form is presented, and evaluations are made on where the artifact found in Çanakkale may have come from and the places of production. Although the fact that there are very few publications on the subject and the fact that it is one of the rare forms makes the study difficult, the fact that the place of discovery is known and the only scientifically published material comes from a place close to this place is important in terms of the positive outcomes of the article.
