▼ A great glassmaking tradition In the 19th century, Belgium was the largest exporter of glass in the world and one of the main producers of polished glass. At the dawn of the 20th century, with the help of Emile Gobbe, Belgian engineer Emile Fourcault introduced the first mechanical system for glass production. This vertical drawing system influenced the entire glass industry around the world, replacing the manual glassblowing method universally used until then for making window glass. With the rapid development of mechanisation, the industry concentrated in Belgium. This ultimately led in 1961...
