Glass making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the area of Syria were the earliest to by mistake come across a new and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and folklore shroud the actual discovery of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Amber Glassware today!

Goblet manufacture in the Egyptian epoch The lovely, and virtually ethereal, shapes that schooner makers create in the present day have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Beaker beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the period of the pre-Roman times, glass vessels were being completed but the fine art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making schooner mosaics.

Romans find out beaker blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that schooner blowing, as it is recognized today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This authoritative finding wholly changed the modewineglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The monotonous task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of infinite possibilities opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a little instant, Rome started to dominate the beaker market, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and supply of blown schooner and led to the Amber Glassware that we have today.

Beaker works throughout the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic structure that dominated the majority of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of change and discovery that wineglass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 glass artisans throughout the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker blowing secrets zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out goblet-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Beaker-making involved the extensive use of fire, which always a posed a risk to the crowded and timber-rich city of Venice. And, so in 1291, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers presently became the final word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of glass blowing, creating exquisite shapes and styles that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price tag if their free will. No artisan or his family was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many goblet makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian wineglass was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano glass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the manner mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give method to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Amber Glassware is much in demand!

Goblet blowing in China There is not much known about beaker being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is assumed that blown beaker was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the limited interest in wineglass in ancient China to the incredible and prevalent use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
