Goblet making goes back a long time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to by mistake stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore veil the definite discovery of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no art glass tumblers today!

Tumbler production in the Egyptian era The exquisite, and virtually ethereal, shapes that beaker manufacturers construct today have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Schooner beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Throughout the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being completed but the art of tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were customarily making schooner mosaics.

Romans learn wineglass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that wineglass blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling discovery entirely changed the modeglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The boring task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole view of infinite potential opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a short instant, Rome started to dominate the beaker marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and distribution of blown tumbler and led to the art glass tumblers that we have today.

Glass works all through the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the largest part of Europe at that time.

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

Glass-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, glass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers presently became the final word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of glass blowing, creating exquisite shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price tag if their free will. No artisan or his family was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

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

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