Goblet 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 inhabiting the region of Syria were the earliest to by mistake encounter an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the definite finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no new vintage glassware today!

Wineglass production in the Egyptian times The lovely, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that beaker 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. Tumbler 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, schooner vessels were being completed but the fine art of schooner blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were customarily making glass mosaics.

Romans find out schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This commanding finding absolutely transformed the wayglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tiresome task of wrapping schooner around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole vista of countless potential opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown goblet and led to the new vintage glassware that we have today.

Tumbler workings in the Middle Ages during the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated nearly all of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that tumbler blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 tumbler artisans during 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 glass-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, tumbler-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers shortly became the final word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating fine shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the fee if their independence. No artisan or his family was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to get away Murano and it was they who spread the art of goblet blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian beaker 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 means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give mode to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, new vintage glassware is much in demand!

Schooner blowing in China There is not much known about goblet being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant 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 believed that blown goblet was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not glass panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
