Wineglass making goes back a extensive era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to fortuitously stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the real finding of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Mini today!

Wineglass making in the Egyptian times The exquisite, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet makers create nowadays have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun 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. In the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being completed but the fine art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were by and large making goblet mosaics.

Romans come across schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is identified today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong discovery totally changed the modebeaker would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The boring task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole view of endless possibilities opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a little instant, Rome started to dominate the wineglass marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome shortly became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and supply of blown goblet and led to the Fenton Mini that we have today.

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

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of alteration and discovery that glass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 schooner artisans for the period of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker blowing secrets and techniques zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out goblet-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 isolated island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers soon became the ultimate word in the delicateand era-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating delicate shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the cost if their independence. No artisan or his family was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many tumbler makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian wineglass 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 technique mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give means to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Mini is much in demand!

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