Wineglass making goes back a extensive period, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the region of Syria were the earliest to by accident come across an innovative and useful substance called 'wineglass'. However, many myths and legends cloak the definite discovery of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no red glassware today!

Goblet making in the Egyptian epoch The wonderful, and almost ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers fashion in the present day have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. All through the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being made but the art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were by and large making wineglass mosaics.

Romans see goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that schooner blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This powerful finding completely changed the waywineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The boring task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole view of countless potential opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a brief time, Rome started to dominate the glass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and supply of blown tumbler and led to the red glassware that we have today.

Goblet workings throughout the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic structure that dominated the largest part of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of alteration and discovery that glass blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans for the period of 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 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 schooner blowers quickly became the ultimate word in the sensitiveand period-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating beautiful shapes and creations that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the fee if their free will. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to leave 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 goblet 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 schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the method mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give way to lovely glass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, red glassware is much in demand!

Wineglass blowing in China There is not much known about beaker 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 believed that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian goblet artists. Historians now attribute the restricted interest in wineglass in ancient China to the incredible and widespread use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not glass panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
