Glass making goes back a long period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the district of Syria were the first to fortuitously stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and tradition shroud the authentic discovery of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no beverage glassware grapes today!

Tumbler production in the Egyptian times The superb, and nearly ethereal, shapes that schooner manufacturers craft now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Beaker beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. All through the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being completed but the fine art of tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making tumbler mosaics.

Romans come across glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This dominant discovery wholly transformed the mannerbeaker would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearying 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 vista of limitless potential opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome began to dominate the schooner marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for making and distribution of blown wineglass and led to the beverage glassware grapes that we have today.

Tumbler works all through the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that beaker blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 beaker artisans for the duration of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their goblet blowing techniques zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out beaker-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, tumbler-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers quickly became the very last word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of glass blowing, creating fine shapes and designs that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of glass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian beaker 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 way mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give means to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, beverage glassware grapes is much in demand!

Tumbler 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 thought that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the restricted attention in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and widespread use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
