Tumbler making goes back a long era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the area of Syria were the earliest to by chance stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and legends blanket the definite discovery of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no crystal shot glasses today!

Wineglass production in the Egyptian times The superb, and virtually ethereal, shapes that goblet makers produce in the present day have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had started 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. In the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being made but the fine art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making goblet mosaics.

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

In a little instant, Rome started to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and distribution of blown beaker and led to the crystal shot glasses that we have today.

Glass workings for the duration of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the largest part 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 fewerthan 8,000 tumbler artisans for the period of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their schooner blowing strategies 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!

Goblet-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 remote island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers quickly became the last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating beautiful shapes and designs that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the fee if their freedom. No artisan or his people was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many tumbler makers did manage to get away Murano and it was they who spread the art of glass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian tumbler was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano wineglass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give method to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, crystal shot glasses is much in demand!

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