Beaker 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 living in the province of Syria were the first to inadvertently come across a new and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the authentic discovery of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Bell today!

Tumbler making in the Egyptian era The superb, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that tumbler manufacturers produce today have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Wineglass 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 completed but the art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were commonly making beaker mosaics.

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

In a little time, Rome started to dominate the beaker market, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and distribution of blown beaker and led to the Fenton Bell that we have today.

Beaker workings for the period of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the largest part of Europe at that period.

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 lessthan 8,000 beaker artisans for the period of 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 beaker-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, beaker-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers before long became the last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of glass blowing, creating beautiful shapes and styles that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the cost if their free will. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many goblet 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 beaker was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the technique mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give mode to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Bell is much in demand!

Glass blowing in China There is not much known about goblet being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of glass 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 attention in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for wineglass!
