Wineglass making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the territory of Syria were the earliest to by accident come across an innovative new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and tradition cloak the authentic discovery of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Carnival Glass Basket today!

Beaker making in the Egyptian era The lovely, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet manufacturers form nowadays have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Glass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Throughout the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being completed but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making wineglass mosaics.

Romans uncover schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that schooner blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling discovery utterly transformed the mannerbeaker 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 tumbler blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole outlook of limitless possibilities opened up before Roman glass artisans.

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

Schooner works for the period of the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained schooner 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 alteration and discovery that glass blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans all through 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 goblet-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Tumbler-making concerned 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 rapidly became the ultimate word in the delicateand era-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating lovely shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price if their independence. No artisan or his family 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 tumbler 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 means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give method to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Carnival Glass Basket is much in demand!

Wineglass blowing in China There is not much known about beaker 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 beaker was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the restricted interest in schooner in ancient China to the incredible and prevalent use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not schooner panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
