Wineglass making goes back a long time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the province of Syria were the first to by mistake stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the real finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Carnival Depression Glass today!

Schooner manufacture in the Egyptian period The exquisite, and nearly ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers create now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the period of the pre-Roman times, schooner vessels were being made but the art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making schooner mosaics.

Romans come across goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is recognized today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This commanding finding fully changed the wayglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tedious task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole view of limitless promise opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome started to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and supply of blown beaker and led to the Carnival Depression Glass that we have today.

Schooner workings throughout the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained wineglass windows in the Gothic structure that dominated the largest part of Europe at that time.

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

Glass-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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers soon became the final word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of glass blowing, creating beautiful shapes and styles that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price if their liberty. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to break out 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 glass 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 manner mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give means to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Carnival Depression Glass 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 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 assumed that blown tumbler was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the restricted interest in schooner in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for wineglass!
