Glass making goes back a long time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the district of Syria were the earliest to by chance stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'wineglass'. However, many myths and tradition shroud the definite finding of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Frosted Drinking Glasses today!

Goblet making in the Egyptian period The beautiful, and virtually ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers build nowadays have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Beaker 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 made but the fine art of tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making schooner mosaics.

Romans discover schooner 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 commanding discovery completely transformed the wayglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tedious task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole outlook of endless possibilities opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the beaker market, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for making and distribution of blown glass and led to the Frosted Drinking Glasses that we have today.

Tumbler workings throughout the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained wineglass windows in the Gothic structure that dominated nearly all of Europe at that era.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that schooner blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans in the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their goblet blowing tricks zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out beaker-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, goblet-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers before long became the final word in the delicateand period-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating wonderful shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price if their liberty. No artisan or his people was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many goblet 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 wineglass 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 manner mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give manner to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Frosted Drinking Glasses is much in demand!

Tumbler 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 wineglass in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is believed that blown goblet was introduced to China by Persian schooner artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in beaker in ancient China to the incredible and pervasive use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not schooner panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
