Goblet making goes back a long time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the district of Syria were the earliest to by chance encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore veil the authentic finding of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Carnival Glass Punch Bowl today!

Goblet manufacture in the Egyptian times The lovely, and almost ethereal, shapes that tumbler makers form today have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Schooner 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 tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making goblet mosaics.

Romans ascertain goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that wineglass blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This influential discovery completely transformed the waywineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tedious task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole view of limitless promise opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

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

Wineglass workings all through the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that wineglass blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 glass artisans for the duration of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their tumbler blowing secrets 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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers shortly became the very last word in the delicateand time-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating lovely shapes and patterns that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their free will. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many goblet makers did manage to get away 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 glass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give way to lovely tumbler mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Carnival Glass Punch Bowl is much in demand!

Tumbler blowing in China There is not much known about goblet being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant 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 glass was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete attention in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for wineglass!
