Beaker making goes back a extensive period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the territory of Syria were the first to by chance stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the authentic finding of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no glass tumblers arts today!

Beaker making in the Egyptian epoch The superb, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet makers craft in the present day have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Tumbler 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, tumbler vessels were being made but the art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were commonly making wineglass mosaics.

Romans determine glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that schooner blowing, as it is recognized today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This authoritative finding fully transformed the mannerschooner would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole vista of infinite possibilities opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a little time, Rome began to dominate the beaker market, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and distribution of blown beaker and led to the glass tumblers arts that we have today.

Glass works during the Middle Ages in the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained wineglass windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated nearly all of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that tumbler blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 schooner artisans throughout the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their glass blowing techniques zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out schooner-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Wineglass-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 remote island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers shortly became the very last word in the delicateand era-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating exquisite shapes and creations that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his people was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many schooner makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of goblet 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 technique mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give technique to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, glass tumblers arts 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 wineglass in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is assumed that blown tumbler was introduced to China by Persian schooner artists. Historians now attribute the restricted interest in glass in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not wineglass panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
