Schooner making goes back a extensive time, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the province of Syria were the earliest to by chance encounter a new and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and folklore shroud the actual discovery of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Carnival Glass today!

Tumbler making in the Egyptian era The lovely, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers produce now have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. During the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being completed but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making beaker mosaics.

Romans see tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong discovery totally changed the modeschooner would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearisome 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 view of endless possibilities opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a short time, Rome started to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and supply of blown goblet and led to the Fenton Carnival Glass that we have today.

Goblet works in the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated nearly all of Europe at that era.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 beaker artisans for the duration of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their glass blowing tricks zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out wineglass-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Wineglass-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, goblet-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers rapidly became the final word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating beautiful shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his people was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of schooner 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 glass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the method mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give mode to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Carnival Glass is much in demand!

Glass 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 glass in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in schooner in ancient China to the incredible and general use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not wineglass panes. They simply did not see the need for beaker!
