Tumbler making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. 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 an innovative and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and tradition cloak the authentic discovery of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no iced beverage glassware today!

Wineglass production in the Egyptian times The exquisite, and almost ethereal, shapes that glass makers craft nowadays have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Schooner beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Through the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being made but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were habitually making goblet mosaics.

Romans determine goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that goblet blowing, as it is famous today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling finding fully transformed the methodgoblet would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The boring task of wrapping schooner around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole outlook of limitless possibilities opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a brief time, Rome started to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for production and distribution of blown goblet and led to the iced beverage glassware that we have today.

Schooner workings for the period of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification and discovery that glass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans throughout the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing tricks 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!

Schooner-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 tumbler blowers quickly became the last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating superb shapes and creations that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their liberty. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of glass 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 beaker artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give method to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, iced beverage glassware is much in demand!

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