Glass making goes back a extensive period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to by chance stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and legends cloak the actual discovery of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Green Glassware today!

Beaker production in the Egyptian period The delicate, and almost ethereal, shapes that tumbler makers craft nowadays have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Goblet 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 completed but the art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were more often than not making tumbler mosaics.

Romans ascertain beaker blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is identified today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This authoritative finding absolutely changed the meansglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole outlook of infinite promise opened up before Roman glass artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome started to dominate the tumbler market, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown beaker and led to the Green Glassware that we have today.

Beaker workings throughout the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

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

Glass-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 glass blowers before long became the very last word in the delicateand era-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating superb shapes and patterns that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the fee if their independence. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to escape 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 schooner 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 way mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give way to lovely tumbler mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Green Glassware is much in demand!

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