Beaker 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 living in the district of Syria were the first to by chance encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and folklore veil the authentic finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Blue Carnival Glass today!

Wineglass manufacture in the Egyptian period The lovely, and virtually ethereal, shapes that tumbler manufacturers form now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Wineglass 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, beaker vessels were being made but the art of tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making schooner mosaics.

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

In a little time, Rome began to dominate the schooner market, as it did in many other trades. Rome shortly became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and distribution of blown schooner and led to the Blue Carnival Glass that we have today.

Beaker works all through the Middle Ages in the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that tumbler blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 tumbler artisans in the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker 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!

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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers rapidly became the ultimate word in the delicateand time-consuming art of glass blowing, creating exquisite shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price if their freedom. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many tumbler makers did manage to break out 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 goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano glass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the technique mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give mode to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Blue Carnival Glass is much in demand!

Tumbler blowing in China There is not much known about wineglass being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant 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 supposed that blown tumbler was introduced to China by Persian goblet artists. Historians now attribute the limited attention in schooner in ancient China to the incredible and prevalent use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not glass panes. They simply did not see the need for beaker!
