Schooner making goes back a long period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to fortuitously encounter an innovative new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the actual finding of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no antique red glassware today!

Wineglass production in the Egyptian epoch The delicate, and virtually ethereal, shapes that beaker makers construct today have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Goblet beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the duration of the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being made but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making glass mosaics.

Romans discover goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is recognized today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong finding absolutely changed the waybeaker would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tiresome task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole vista of endless promise opened up before Roman glass artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the goblet market, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and distribution of blown glass and led to the antique red glassware that we have today.

Beaker workings in the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained glass windows in the Gothic structure that dominated the majority of Europe at that era.

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

Goblet-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 faraway island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers shortly became the last word in the delicateand time-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating lovely shapes and styles that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their freedom. No artisan or his people was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many schooner makers did manage to get away Murano and it was they who spread the art of schooner blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano wineglass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give way to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, antique red glassware is much in demand!

Glass blowing in China There is not much known about beaker being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of goblet in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is assumed that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in glass in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
