Wineglass making goes back a long era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the district of Syria were the earliest to inadvertently stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and tradition cloak the real finding of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no glass tumblers 22k gold today!

Wineglass making in the Egyptian period The lovely, and nearly ethereal, shapes that schooner makers generate nowadays have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Glass 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, glass vessels were being made but the fine art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were by and large making tumbler mosaics.

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

In a short time, Rome started to dominate the beaker marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for making and supply of blown wineglass and led to the glass tumblers 22k gold that we have today.

Glass works during the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained beaker 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 transformation and discovery that beaker blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 wineglass artisans all through the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their glass 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!

Tumbler-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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers almost immediately became the very last word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating fine shapes and creations that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their freedom. No artisan or his family was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many tumbler 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 glass was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give means to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, glass tumblers 22k gold is much in demand!

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