Glass making goes back a long time, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to accidentally encounter a new and useful substance called 'schooner'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the authentic finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no shot glasses barware today!

Glass making in the Egyptian era The fine, and almost ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers craft now have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Beaker 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, wineglass vessels were being made but the art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were habitually making tumbler mosaics.

Romans determine schooner blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is identified today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This potent finding totally transformed the meanstumbler would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The dull task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole view of infinite potential opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a little time, Rome started to dominate the wineglass marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for production and supply of blown glass and led to the shot glasses barware that we have today.

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

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

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, goblet-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano glass blowers almost immediately became the final word in the delicateand time-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating beautiful shapes and types that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their liberty. No artisan or his family was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many glass makers did manage to escape 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 tumbler 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 mode mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give mode to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, shot glasses barware is much in demand!

Goblet blowing in China There is not much known about tumbler being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of tumbler in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is assumed that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian schooner artists. Historians now attribute the restricted interest in schooner in ancient China to the incredible and widespread use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for goblet!
