Schooner making goes back a long period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the district of Syria were the first to by chance stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and legends blanket the real discovery of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Pitcher today!

Wineglass production in the Egyptian epoch The superb, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet makers generate these days have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Schooner beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Through the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being completed but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were customarily making beaker mosaics.

Romans come across tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that goblet blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This authoritative discovery entirely transformed the waygoblet would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tiresome task of wrapping schooner around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole outlook of infinite promise opened up before Roman wineglass artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and supply of blown beaker and led to the Fenton Pitcher that we have today.

Goblet works throughout the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic structure that dominated the majority of Europe at that era.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that wineglass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 tumbler artisans in the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing tricks 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!

Goblet-making concerned the extensive use of fire, which always a posed a risk to the crowded and timber-rich city of Venice. And, so in 1291, tumbler-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers before long became the ultimate word in the delicateand era-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating fine shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the cost if their liberty. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many goblet 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 schooner was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano glass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give means to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Fenton Pitcher is much in demand!

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