Schooner making goes back a long period, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the area of Syria were the first to inadvertently encounter a new and useful substance called 'wineglass'. However, many myths and folklore cloak the real finding of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no glass tumblers today!

Glass making in the Egyptian epoch The superb, and almost ethereal, shapes that goblet makers fashion in the present day have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Goblet 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, goblet vessels were being made but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making tumbler mosaics.

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

In a short time, Rome started to dominate the goblet market, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and supply of blown goblet and led to the glass tumblers that we have today.

Wineglass works for the period of the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that era.

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 schooner artisans throughout the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their goblet blowing strategies zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out glass-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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers soon became the final word in the sensitiveand period-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating superb shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the cost if their independence. No artisan or his people was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of schooner 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 mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give mode to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, glass tumblers is much in demand!

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