Schooner making goes back a extensive 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 by mistake stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and legends shroud the definite finding of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no fine glassware set today!

Schooner making in the Egyptian era The wonderful, and virtually ethereal, shapes that glass manufacturers construct nowadays have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Tumbler beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the period of the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being completed but the fine art of schooner blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making goblet mosaics.

Romans ascertain goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that wineglass blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This potent discovery absolutely changed the methodwineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tedious task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole vista of limitless promise opened up before Roman glass artisans.

In a little instant, Rome started to dominate the schooner market, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and supply of blown goblet and led to the fine glassware set that we have today.

Schooner works for the duration of the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic structure that dominated most of Europe at that era.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of change and discovery that beaker blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 glass 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 tumbler-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Goblet-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, tumbler-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers almost immediately became the ultimate word in the delicateand era-consuming art of glass blowing, creating delicate shapes and creations that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their independence. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of wineglass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano beaker artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give way to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, fine glassware set is much in demand!

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