Wineglass making goes back a long era, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the region of Syria were the first to fortuitously come across an innovative new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the genuine discovery of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no vintage glassware metal today!

Wineglass making in the Egyptian times The superb, and nearly ethereal, shapes that tumbler makers form in the present day have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian society. Goblet 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, wineglass vessels were being completed but the art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were typically making schooner mosaics.

Romans discover glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that wineglass blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong discovery totally transformed the methodgoblet would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The tedious task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new tumbler blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole outlook of infinite possibilities opened up before Roman schooner artisans.

In a brief time, Rome started to dominate the tumbler market, as it did in many other trades. Rome rapidly became the ancient world's epicentre for fabrication and distribution of blown tumbler and led to the vintage glassware metal that we have today.

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

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

Goblet-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 secluded island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers shortly became the final word in the delicateand time-consuming art of glass blowing, creating delicate shapes and designs that would enthrall upcominggenerations. But, at the price if their freedom. 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 schooner makers did manage to escape 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 beaker 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 way mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give means to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, vintage glassware metal is much in demand!

Wineglass blowing in China There is not much known about glass 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 believed that blown tumbler was introduced to China by Persian wineglass artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in tumbler in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For instance, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not beaker panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
