Wineglass making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the region of Syria were the earliest to by accident stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and legends shroud the genuine discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no vintage glassware lot today!

Beaker making in the Egyptian epoch The wonderful, and virtually ethereal, shapes that goblet manufacturers build now have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., wineglass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Beaker beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. During 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 regularly making schooner mosaics.

Romans see wineglass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This influential discovery absolutely transformed the mannertumbler would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The dull task of wrapping wineglass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new schooner blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole vista of limitless potential opened up before Roman wineglass artisans.

In a short time, Rome started to dominate the glass marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome almost immediately became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown wineglass and led to the vintage glassware lot that we have today.

Tumbler workings during the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic structure that dominated nearly all of Europe at that time.

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

Glass-making concerned the extensive use of fire, which always a posed a risk to the crowded and timber-rich city of Venice. And, so in 1291, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and remote island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers before long became the very last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of glass blowing, creating delicate shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their free will. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to get away Murano and it was they who spread the art of tumbler blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian glass 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 manner mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give mode to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, vintage glassware lot is much in demand!

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