Wineglass making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to by mistake encounter an innovative new and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and folklore veil the genuine discovery of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no drink glass tumblers today!

Beaker manufacture in the Egyptian era The beautiful, and almost ethereal, shapes that schooner makers fashion in the present day have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler 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. For the period of the pre-Roman times, beaker 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 generally making tumbler mosaics.

Romans come across schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that goblet blowing, as it is identified today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This authoritative finding totally changed the mannerglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The dull task of wrapping wineglass 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 countless possibilities opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and distribution of blown glass and led to the drink glass tumblers that we have today.

Wineglass works for the period of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated nearly all of Europe at that period.

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

Schooner-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, goblet-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers quickly became the very last word in the delicateand time-consuming art of glass blowing, creating superb shapes and designs that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag 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 escape to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to break out 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 goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano beaker artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the method mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give manner to lovely tumbler mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, drink glass tumblers is much in demand!

Schooner blowing in China There is not much known about tumbler being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant 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 assumed that blown beaker was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the limited awareness in schooner in ancient China to the incredible and general use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
