Beaker making goes back a extensive time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the area of Syria were the first to accidentally encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the definite finding of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Blue Glassware today!

Wineglass production in the Egyptian era The lovely, and almost ethereal, shapes that goblet makers produce now have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Tumbler 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, tumbler vessels were being completed but the fine art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were frequently making beaker mosaics.

Romans come across tumbler 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 controlling discovery utterly transformed the mannertumbler would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tiresome task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole view of endless promise opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the beaker marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for production and supply of blown tumbler and led to the Blue Glassware that we have today.

Beaker workings for the duration of the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that goblet blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 goblet artisans for the period of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing techniques zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out schooner-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Goblet-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 remote island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers almost immediately became the last word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating beautiful shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag 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 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 beaker artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the manner mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give method to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Blue Glassware is much in demand!

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