Schooner 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 territory of Syria were the earliest to inadvertently stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and folklore veil the definite finding of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no pattern glass tumblers today!

Glass production in the Egyptian period The superb, and nearly ethereal, shapes that beaker makers generate now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Glass 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, wineglass vessels were being made but the fine art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were frequently making beaker mosaics.

Romans discover goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong discovery entirely changed the methodgoblet would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The dull task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole outlook of endless possibilities opened up before Roman wineglass artisans.

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and distribution of blown goblet and led to the pattern glass tumblers that we have today.

Schooner workings for the period of the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated most of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that goblet blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 beaker artisans all through 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!

Goblet-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 isolated island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers shortly became the final word in the sensitiveand period-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating wonderful shapes and designs that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his family was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of wineglass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano goblet artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give means to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, pattern glass tumblers is much in demand!

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