Glass 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 living in the province of Syria were the first to by accident come across an innovative and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the actual finding of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no rocks glass tumblers today!

Goblet making in the Egyptian period The lovely, and nearly ethereal, shapes that tumbler manufacturers form now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun 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, glass vessels were being completed but the fine art of goblet blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were as a rule making tumbler mosaics.

Romans learn goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This great finding entirely transformed the mannertumbler would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tedious task of wrapping beaker around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole outlook of infinite promise opened up before Roman wineglass artisans.

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

Tumbler workings during the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured embellishment for use in stained glass windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated nearly all of Europe at that era.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of change and discovery that beaker blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 goblet artisans during the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their goblet blowing tricks 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!

Schooner-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, beaker-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers before long became the very last word in the delicateand time-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating delicate shapes and creations that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their liberty. No artisan or his family was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many tumbler makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of glass 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 beaker artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give technique to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, rocks glass tumblers 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 fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of glass in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown goblet was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the restricted attention in glass in ancient China to the incredible and widespread use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not wineglass panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
