Beaker making goes back a extensive 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 by accident encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and legends veil the real finding of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Cat today!

Schooner making in the Egyptian epoch The exquisite, and nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet makers craft now have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Schooner beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. In the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being made but the fine art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making schooner mosaics.

Romans see schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that goblet blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling discovery absolutely transformed the modeschooner would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The monotonous task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of limitless potential opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome began to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for making and supply of blown glass and led to the Fenton Cat that we have today.

Wineglass workings all through the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated most of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of change and discovery that goblet blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 glass artisans in the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing secrets 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 secluded island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers soon became the final word in the delicateand period-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating delicate shapes and designs that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price if their liberty. No artisan or his family was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many tumbler 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 tumbler was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano wineglass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give technique to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Cat 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 fantastic 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 supposed that blown wineglass was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in beaker in ancient China to the incredible and pervasive use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
