Goblet making goes back a extensive time, 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 province of Syria were the first to accidentally come across a new and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the actual discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Blue Drinking Glasses today!

Glass manufacture in the Egyptian times The lovely, and nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet manufacturers create nowadays have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. 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 art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making glass mosaics.

Romans see tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This commanding discovery wholly transformed the meanstumbler would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The dull task of wrapping beaker around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of countless potential opened up before Roman wineglass artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome started to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for making and supply of blown goblet and led to the Blue Drinking Glasses that we have today.

Goblet workings for the period of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated nearly all of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 beaker artisans during the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker blowing secrets zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out glass-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 beaker blowers before long became the ultimate word in the delicateand era-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating beautiful shapes and styles that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the cost if their free will. No artisan or his people was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to escape 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 wineglass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the technique mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give method to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Blue Drinking Glasses is much in demand!

Goblet 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 wineglass in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown beaker was introduced to China by Persian goblet artists. Historians now attribute the limited attention in glass in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
