Beaker making goes back a extensive era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the province of Syria were the earliest to accidentally encounter a new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and legends shroud the authentic discovery of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Hobnail today!

Schooner creation in the Egyptian era The beautiful, and almost ethereal, shapes that wineglass manufacturers form now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Goblet beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the period of the pre-Roman times, beaker vessels were being completed but the fine art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were by and large making glass mosaics.

Romans find out glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This powerful finding absolutely changed the modewineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tiresome task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole vista of limitless potential opened up before Roman wineglass artisans.

In a short time, Rome began to dominate the glass marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and supply of blown tumbler and led to the Fenton Hobnail that we have today.

Wineglass works for the duration of the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained wineglass windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

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

Schooner-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, glass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers quickly became the ultimate word in the delicateand period-consuming art of glass blowing, creating wonderful shapes and creations that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the fee if their liberty. No artisan or his relatives 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 beaker makers did manage to get away Murano and it was they who spread the art of glass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian glass was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the technique mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give method to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Hobnail is much in demand!

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