Glass making goes back a extensive era, 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 by mistake come across an innovative new and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and tradition cloak the real finding of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Northwood Carnival Glass today!

Goblet manufacture in the Egyptian period The fine, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that schooner makers form today have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Wineglass 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, beaker vessels were being completed but the art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were frequently making beaker mosaics.

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

In a little instant, Rome began to dominate the beaker marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and supply of blown glass and led to the Northwood Carnival Glass that we have today.

Beaker workings for the duration of the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated most of Europe at that period.

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

Tumbler-making concerned the extensive use of fire, which always a posed a risk to the crowded and timber-rich city of Venice. And, so in 1291, beaker-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers before long became the last word in the delicateand time-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating superb shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the cost if their free will. No artisan or his people was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many goblet 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 tumbler was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano glass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the manner mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give method to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Northwood Carnival Glass is much in demand!

Beaker blowing in China There is not much known about tumbler 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 beaker was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the limited awareness in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and pervasive use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for beaker!
