Schooner making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to accidentally stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'wineglass'. However, many myths and folklore shroud the definite discovery of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Avon Glassware today!

Goblet production in the Egyptian era The lovely, and virtually ethereal, shapes that glass makers craft now have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Beaker beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. During the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being completed but the fine art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making glass mosaics.

Romans uncover glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that wineglass blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This powerful finding totally transformed the modewineglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole outlook of endless potential opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

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

Tumbler works during the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated nearly all of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of change and discovery that tumbler blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans for the period of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing secrets and techniques 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!

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, tumbler-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers rapidly became the last word in the sensitiveand period-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating lovely shapes and styles that would enthrall cominggenerations. 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 break out to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of goblet 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 goblet artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the manner mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give mode to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Avon Glassware is much in demand!

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