Glass making goes back a long era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the region of Syria were the earliest to by accident stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and legends shroud the authentic discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Red Carnival Glass today!

Glass making in the Egyptian epoch The wonderful, and virtually ethereal, shapes that beaker makers form nowadays have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had begun 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. Through the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being made but the fine art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making beaker mosaics.

Romans uncover wineglass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This great discovery utterly changed the waywineglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The wearying task of wrapping beaker around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of infinite possibilities opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome started to dominate the beaker market, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and distribution of blown goblet and led to the Red Carnival Glass that we have today.

Schooner works during the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained glass windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that era.

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

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, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers shortly became the ultimate word in the delicateand time-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating fine shapes and styles that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their liberty. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many tumbler makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of tumbler 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 goblet artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give way to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Red Carnival Glass is much in demand!

Schooner blowing in China There is not much known about wineglass being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of wineglass in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown glass was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in beaker in ancient China to the incredible and prevalent use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
