💨 Abstract

The Mughal Empire, a powerful North Indian and Pakistani super-state, emerged in the late 16th century. The empire, established by a Muslim dynasty from Central Asia, expanded under Emperor Akbar, including the production of glass in regions like Firozabad and Agra. Glass from Firozabad was said to fill Akbar's royal treasury, while Agra also had glassblowers and a continuous market for glassware.
