The origins of the first stained glass windows are lost in history. The technique probably came from jewelry making, cloisonn and mosaics. Stained glass windows as we know them, seemed to arise when substantial church building began. By the 10th century, depictions of Christ and biblical scenes were found in French and German churches and decorative designs found in England.

1785? No. There's evidence for stained glass windows in England, eleven hundred years earlier (in 765), and then of course in hundreds of cathedrals and churches over the many centuries following.

∙ 10y agoThe Egyptians had the first idea for stained glass windows. They would make colored glass beads by winding a thin string of molten glass around a removable clay core. This glass is opaque and very precious. The Egyptians made these glass beads around 2750 and 2625 BC. Then the Romans invented stained glass by melting sand and wood ash. They colored the glass they would add powderd metals while the glass is still molten. The molten glass is blown in to a cilinder shape, then they it is flatttened into a flat piece. The glass is placed into window frame. And to answer the original question stained glass windows were invented around the first century AD.
