Glass making goes back a extensive time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the area of Syria were the first to fortuitously encounter a new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore cloak the authentic finding of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Restaurant Glassware today!

Glass manufacture in the Egyptian times The fine, and virtually ethereal, shapes that tumbler manufacturers create in the present day have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun 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. For the period of the pre-Roman times, goblet 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 customarily making glass mosaics.

Romans determine beaker blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is recognized today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This powerful discovery absolutely changed the wayglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearying task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of infinite promise opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a short time, Rome started to dominate the beaker marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and distribution of blown goblet and led to the Restaurant Glassware that we have today.

Glass works all through the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained goblet windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that time.

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

Goblet-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, glass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers presently became the final word in the delicateand time-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating wonderful shapes and patterns that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their freedom. No artisan or his family was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many beaker 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 goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano wineglass artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give method to lovely tumbler mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Restaurant Glassware is much in demand!

Tumbler 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 beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in wineglass in ancient China to the incredible and general use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not wineglass panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
