Wineglass making goes back a long time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the district of Syria were the first to inadvertently encounter an innovative new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and tradition veil the genuine discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Art Glass today!

Goblet manufacture in the Egyptian times The superb, and almost ethereal, shapes that goblet manufacturers create nowadays have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Goblet beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Through the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being completed but the art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making wineglass mosaics.

Romans ascertain schooner 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 strong discovery utterly changed the waybeaker would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole vista of endless potential opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a short instant, Rome started to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for making and distribution of blown schooner and led to the Fenton Art Glass that we have today.

Goblet workings for the duration of the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the largest part of Europe at that era.

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

Goblet-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 remote island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers before long became the very last word in the delicateand time-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating exquisite shapes and styles that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the fee if their free will. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many schooner makers did manage to escape 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 tumbler 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 mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give mode to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Art Glass is much in demand!

Wineglass blowing in China There is not much known about glass 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 wineglass was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in glass in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for beaker!
