Tumbler making goes back a extensive period, 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 by accident stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and tradition veil the genuine discovery of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no blue glass tumblers today!

Glass production in the Egyptian times The fine, and virtually ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers create nowadays have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Schooner beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. In the pre-Roman times, glass vessels were being made but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were habitually making goblet mosaics.

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

In a brief time, Rome started to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome shortly became the ancient world's epicentre for making and distribution of blown beaker and led to the blue glass tumblers that we have today.

Tumbler works all through the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated nearly all of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that beaker blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 beaker artisans during 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 beaker-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, goblet-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers almost immediately became the ultimate word in the sensitiveand period-consuming art of glass blowing, creating lovely shapes and styles that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many goblet makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of wineglass 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 schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give way to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, blue glass tumblers is much in demand!

Goblet blowing in China There is not much known about goblet being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is believed that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete attention in tumbler 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 glass!
