Goblet making goes back a extensive era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to inadvertently stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the actual finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no carnival glass tumblers today!

Goblet manufacture in the Egyptian epoch The delicate, and virtually ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers generate these days have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Wineglass 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, 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 habitually making goblet mosaics.

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

In a little instant, Rome started to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and supply of blown wineglass and led to the carnival glass tumblers that we have today.

Beaker works during the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained wineglass windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated most of Europe at that time.

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

Tumbler-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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers soon became the very last word in the delicateand era-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating exquisite shapes and designs that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the fee if their free will. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many wineglass 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 wineglass 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 technique mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give method to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, carnival glass tumblers is much in demand!

Beaker 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 schooner in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the limited awareness in tumbler in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not glass panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
