Schooner making goes back a long period, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to by accident encounter a new and useful substance called 'wineglass'. However, many myths and tradition veil the actual discovery of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Red Glassware today!

Schooner manufacture in the Egyptian epoch The fine, and nearly ethereal, shapes that glass makers build these days have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Wineglass 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, goblet vessels were being completed but the fine art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were generally making schooner mosaics.

Romans come across glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that goblet blowing, as it is identified today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This potent finding entirely changed the meansschooner would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The monotonous task of wrapping goblet 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 limitless potential opened up before Roman tumbler artisans.

In a little instant, Rome started to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and distribution of blown schooner and led to the Red Glassware that we have today.

Wineglass works for the period of the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, wineglass was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that era.

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

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, glass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers presently became the last word in the sensitiveand time-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating delicate shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price tag if their independence. No artisan or his family was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker 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 mode mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give method to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Red Glassware is much in demand!

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