Glass making goes back a long period, all the way to 5000 B.C. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the district of Syria were the first to by mistake come across an innovative and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and tradition cloak the authentic finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no vintage glassware center piece today!

Glass manufacture in the Egyptian times The wonderful, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that tumbler manufacturers create now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. 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, schooner vessels were being made but the fine art of schooner blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making tumbler mosaics.

Romans determine wineglass 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 authoritative discovery totally transformed the methodbeaker would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The boring task of wrapping beaker around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new glass blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole outlook of limitless potential opened up before Roman beaker artisans.

In a brief time, Rome began to dominate the wineglass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for making and supply of blown beaker and led to the vintage glassware center piece that we have today.

Glass workings for the period of the Middle Ages for the period of the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured adornment 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 revolution and discovery that tumbler blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 wineglass artisans for the duration of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker blowing secrets 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!

Wineglass-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 tumbler blowers shortly became the ultimate word in the sensitiveand period-consuming art of glass blowing, creating lovely shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their liberty. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of wineglass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian wineglass was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the mode mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors started to give manner to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, vintage glassware center piece is much in demand!

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