Tumbler making goes back a extensive era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to fortuitously encounter an innovative new and useful substance called 'wineglass'. However, many myths and legends veil the genuine discovery of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Cruet today!

Schooner making in the Egyptian epoch The lovely, and virtually ethereal, shapes that beaker makers construct now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. 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, schooner vessels were being made but the fine art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making wineglass mosaics.

Romans ascertain glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is famous today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling discovery fully changed the modewineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping beaker around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of limitless possibilities opened up before Roman glass artisans.

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the glass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and distribution of blown wineglass and led to the Fenton Cruet that we have today.

Wineglass workings for the period of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic structure that dominated most of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that schooner blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 glass artisans all through the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their tumbler blowing techniques 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!

Glass-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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers rapidly became the last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating beautiful shapes and patterns that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the cost if their free will. No artisan or his family was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

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

Beaker blowing in China There is not much known about beaker being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in beaker in ancient China to the incredible and prevalent use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
