Glass making goes back a long period, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the territory of Syria were the first to accidentally stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and tradition shroud the genuine finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Lamps today!

Goblet making in the Egyptian times The wonderful, and almost ethereal, shapes that goblet makers craft these days have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the duration of 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 mostly making beaker mosaics.

Romans uncover beaker blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that wineglass blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This influential finding completely changed the mannertumbler would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The boring task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole outlook of limitless possibilities opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a short time, Rome started to dominate the tumbler market, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for production and distribution of blown beaker and led to the Fenton Lamps that we have today.

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

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that glass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 schooner artisans during the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their glass blowing secrets and techniques zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out glass-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, goblet-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers before long became the very last word in the delicateand era-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating fine shapes and styles that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the fee if their freedom. No artisan or his people was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to escape 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 beaker 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 mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give technique to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Lamps 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 believed that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in tumbler in ancient China to the incredible and prevalent use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
