Wineglass 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 region of Syria were the earliest to fortuitously stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and legends shroud the definite discovery of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Tumblers today!

Schooner creation in the Egyptian times The beautiful, and nearly ethereal, shapes that beaker manufacturers fashion in the present day have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Glass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. Through the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being completed but the art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were generally making wineglass mosaics.

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

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome before long became the ancient world's epicentre for invention and supply of blown beaker and led to the Tumblers that we have today.

Goblet works for the duration of the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained glass windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated the majority of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of alteration and discovery that beaker blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 beaker artisans during the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their tumbler blowing tricks zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out wineglass-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Tumbler-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 secluded island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers soon became the very last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating exquisite shapes and styles that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price tag if their liberty. No artisan or his family was allowed to go away 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 get away 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 method mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give way to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Tumblers is much in demand!

Schooner blowing in China There is not much known about tumbler being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic 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 thought that blown goblet was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the restricted awareness in glass in ancient China to the incredible and pervasive use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not schooner panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
