Schooner making goes back a extensive era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to by chance come across an innovative and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and tradition veil the definite finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fenton Red today!

Tumbler making in the Egyptian period The superb, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that glass makers build today have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass 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 duration of the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being completed but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making beaker mosaics.

Romans determine glass 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 great finding absolutely changed the meansgoblet would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The monotonous task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole view of countless possibilities opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a little time, Rome began to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and supply of blown goblet and led to the Fenton Red that we have today.

Beaker works for the period of the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic structure that dominated nearly all of Europe at that time.

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

Schooner-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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers before long became the final word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating superb shapes and designs that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their freedom. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

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