Schooner 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 inhabiting the area of Syria were the earliest to by accident encounter an innovative new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and legends shroud the genuine finding of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no of beverage glassware today!

Beaker making in the Egyptian times The delicate, and virtually ethereal, shapes that tumbler makers build now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Tumbler 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, schooner vessels were being completed but the art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were by and large making goblet mosaics.

Romans discover tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that schooner blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This great finding totally transformed the meansgoblet would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The boring task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole outlook of infinite promise opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a brief time, Rome started to dominate the glass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and distribution of blown beaker and led to the of beverage glassware that we have today.

Wineglass workings throughout the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic structure that dominated nearly all of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of modification 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 schooner blowing techniques 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!

Glass-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, glass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers shortly became the final word in the delicateand era-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating fine shapes and types that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the cost if their free will. No artisan or his people was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many goblet makers did manage to escape 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 tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the mode mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give means to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, of beverage glassware is much in demand!

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