The earliest 'glass' dates to around 3500BC, found in Mesopotamia, however, it is not quite like the substance we know today.
It is possible that glass was an accidental by-product of the ceramic and/or metalworking trades.

There is also naturally occurring glass (obsidian and moldavite, for instance). I believe that some of the oldest glass artifacts were made from glass that formed naturally, and then was shaped by humans (either by breaking or melting).
