Glass making goes back a long time, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the area of Syria were the earliest to fortuitously encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and legends blanket the definite finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Clear Drinking Glasses today!

Tumbler making in the Egyptian era The fine, and almost ethereal, shapes that wineglass manufacturers fashion today have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. 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, tumbler vessels were being made but the fine art of schooner blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were commonly making tumbler mosaics.

Romans ascertain tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This authoritative finding fully transformed the methodwineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tedious task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new beaker blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole view of limitless potential opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the glass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and distribution of blown beaker and led to the Clear Drinking Glasses that we have today.

Wineglass works in the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic structure that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that wineglass blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 beaker artisans for the duration of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their schooner blowing tricks 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!

Beaker-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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers before long became the ultimate word in the delicateand period-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating superb shapes and styles that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price if their independence. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of wineglass 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 schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give mode to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Clear Drinking Glasses is much in demand!

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