Beaker making goes back a long period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the district of Syria were the first to by accident encounter an innovative new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and legends cloak the real discovery of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no cone glass ornaments today!

Beaker production in the Egyptian epoch The wonderful, and virtually ethereal, shapes that wineglass manufacturers build nowadays have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Tumbler beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. All through the pre-Roman times, schooner vessels were being made but the fine art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making goblet mosaics.

Romans find out glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling finding absolutely changed the meanstumbler would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The dull task of wrapping schooner around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole vista of infinite possibilities opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome started to dominate the tumbler market, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for making and distribution of blown schooner and led to the cone glass ornaments that we have today.

Schooner workings during the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic structure that dominated nearly all of Europe at that era.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that glass blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 wineglass artisans during the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing strategies 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 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 faraway island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers quickly became the ultimate word in the delicateand era-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating wonderful shapes and types that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their independence. No artisan or his people 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 escape 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 goblet artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the technique mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give manner to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, cone glass ornaments is much in demand!

Glass blowing in China There is not much known about schooner being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is thought that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the restricted attention in glass in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
