Glass making goes back a long time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the territory of Syria were the earliest to fortuitously encounter 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 fine glassware ice today!

Wineglass creation in the Egyptian period The exquisite, and virtually ethereal, shapes that schooner manufacturers construct in the present day have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. During the pre-Roman times, beaker vessels were being made but the fine art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making tumbler mosaics.

Romans come across goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This powerful finding wholly changed the methodbeaker would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The boring task of wrapping schooner around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole outlook of infinite possibilities opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and distribution of blown tumbler and led to the fine glassware ice that we have today.

Schooner works throughout the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic structure that dominated nearly all of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 schooner artisans all through the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their schooner 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!

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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers shortly became the final word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating superb shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the cost if their freedom. 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 get away to Europe Still, many schooner 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 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 metallic mirrors started to give mode to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, fine glassware ice is much in demand!

Goblet 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 goblet in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is assumed that blown beaker was introduced to China by Persian goblet artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete attention in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for beaker!
