Goblet 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 living in the district of Syria were the first to by accident stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and folklore cloak the genuine finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Basket today!

Beaker manufacture in the Egyptian times The superb, and virtually ethereal, shapes that goblet makers fashion these days have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Beaker 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 wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were habitually making wineglass mosaics.

Romans learn goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that goblet blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This great finding fully changed the mannerwineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The monotonous task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole outlook of limitless potential opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a little instant, Rome began to dominate the goblet market, as it did in many other trades. Rome shortly became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and supply of blown wineglass and led to the Fenton Basket that we have today.

Beaker workings during the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained glass windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated most of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans for the duration 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 beaker-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Beaker-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 faraway island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers almost immediately became the final word in the delicateand period-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating lovely shapes and creations that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price if their freedom. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many goblet makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker 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 beaker artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the manner mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give mode to lovely tumbler mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Basket is much in demand!

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