Beaker making goes back a long period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the territory of Syria were the first to by accident encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the real discovery of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no milk glass tumblers today!

Glass manufacture in the Egyptian era The wonderful, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that glass makers construct now have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had started 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. During the pre-Roman times, beaker vessels were being made but the art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were regularly making glass mosaics.

Romans come across wineglass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This potent finding entirely changed the wayglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The dull task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole vista of countless potential opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a little time, Rome began to dominate the schooner marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for manufacture and supply of blown wineglass and led to the milk glass tumblers that we have today.

Goblet workings for the period of the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated nearly all of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 tumbler artisans during the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their glass blowing strategies 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!

Beaker-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 goblet blowers presently became the last word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating delicate shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many schooner makers did manage to escape 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 tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give manner to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, milk glass tumblers is much in demand!

Goblet blowing in China There is not much known about glass 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 assumed that blown beaker was introduced to China by Persian glass artists. Historians now attribute the limited interest in tumbler in ancient China to the incredible and general use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not glass panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
