Schooner making goes back a long era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the district of Syria were the earliest to inadvertently come across an innovative new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore cloak the authentic discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Fostoria Glassware today!

Glass manufacture in the Egyptian period The exquisite, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet makers form now have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Beaker 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 glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were customarily making tumbler mosaics.

Romans learn tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This potent finding fully changed the waygoblet would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping beaker around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole view of countless potential opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a short time, Rome began to dominate the beaker market, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and supply of blown beaker and led to the Fostoria Glassware that we have today.

Goblet workings all through the Middle Ages in the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated most of Europe at that time.

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 lessthan 8,000 glass artisans for the period of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their schooner blowing strategies 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!

Glass-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, beaker-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers rapidly became the ultimate word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating delicate shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their free will. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

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

Goblet blowing in China There is not much known about schooner being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant 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 believed that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete attention in beaker in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
