Tumbler making goes back a long time, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to by accident come across a new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the definite discovery of goblet. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Red Drinking Glasses today!

Tumbler production in the Egyptian period The exquisite, and almost ethereal, shapes that glass makers craft in the present day have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Throughout the pre-Roman times, glass 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 customarily making glass mosaics.

Romans determine schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This dominant finding totally transformed the mannerwineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. All of a sudden, a whole outlook of countless potential opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a little time, Rome began to dominate the beaker marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and distribution of blown wineglass and led to the Red Drinking Glasses that we have today.

Wineglass works all through the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, beaker was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained beaker windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the largest part of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that tumbler 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 beaker-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Tumbler-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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers shortly became the ultimate word in the delicateand period-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating lovely shapes and designs that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the cost if their independence. 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 break out to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to get away 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 wineglass 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 began to give technique to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Red Drinking Glasses is much in demand!

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