• First documented recipe for the technique is from 1644, Murano in Italy, by glassmaker master, Giovanni Darduin
• Best available evidence suggests it was originally developed by Vincenzo Miotti, a prominent Venetian glassmaker in the 17th century— its creation was a closely guarded secret keeping within the tradition of medieval craft-guilds
• The earliest goldstone-like material was found in an amulet from 12th to early 13th century ancient Iran (Persia)
