Beaker making goes back a extensive period, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the district of Syria were the earliest to by accident encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and legends blanket the real finding of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no glass tumblers rodeo today!

Schooner creation in the Egyptian period The lovely, and nearly ethereal, shapes that schooner manufacturers create these days have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Schooner beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Throughout the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being completed but the fine art of tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making glass mosaics.

Romans see goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This potent discovery wholly changed the mannertumbler would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearying task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole outlook of endless potential opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a little time, Rome started to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and supply of blown wineglass and led to the glass tumblers rodeo that we have today.

Glass workings for the period of the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained wineglass 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 started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 glass artisans all through the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their tumbler 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!

Wineglass-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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers shortly became the ultimate word in the delicateand period-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating wonderful shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the cost if their independence. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker 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 tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give technique to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, glass tumblers rodeo is much in demand!

Wineglass blowing in China There is not much known about schooner being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of tumbler in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian goblet artists. Historians now attribute the limited awareness in glass in ancient China to the incredible and general use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
