Wineglass making goes back a extensive period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to by mistake stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and tradition shroud the genuine discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Epergne today!

Glass making in the Egyptian era The beautiful, and almost ethereal, shapes that glass makers generate nowadays have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. All through the pre-Roman times, beaker vessels were being made but the art of schooner blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were customarily making goblet mosaics.

Romans see goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This influential finding entirely changed the waywineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole outlook of countless promise opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the wineglass marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and distribution of blown schooner and led to the Fenton Epergne that we have today.

Tumbler works throughout the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic structure that dominated most of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that glass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 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 wineglass-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Wineglass-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 remote island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers before long became the ultimate word in the delicateand period-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating superb shapes and types that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price tag if their liberty. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to get away 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 tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give means to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Epergne is much in demand!

Schooner blowing in China There is not much known about goblet 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 assumed that blown goblet was introduced to China by Persian schooner artists. Historians now attribute the limited attention in glass in ancient China to the incredible and widespread use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for beaker!
