Wineglass making goes back a long period, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the territory of Syria were the earliest to fortuitously stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and legends shroud the genuine finding of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no beverage glassware today!

Glass making in the Egyptian period The beautiful, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that beaker makers construct nowadays have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Goblet beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Through the pre-Roman times, glass vessels were being made but the fine art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making beaker mosaics.

Romans come across tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong finding fully transformed the methodgoblet would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole view of infinite potential opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a brief time, Rome started to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown tumbler and led to the beverage glassware that we have today.

Beaker works for the period of the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated most 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 fewerthan 8,000 wineglass artisans for the period of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker 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!

Schooner-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 remote island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers almost immediately became the ultimate word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating lovely shapes and types that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the fee if their independence. No artisan or his people was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many schooner makers did manage to escape 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 tumbler 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 began to give means to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, beverage glassware is much in demand!

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