Schooner making goes back a long era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the territory of Syria were the earliest to by chance come across an innovative and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and legends cloak the genuine discovery of tumbler. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no vintage glassware silver today!

Wineglass creation in the Egyptian epoch The exquisite, and nearly ethereal, shapes that goblet makers construct today have progressed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., schooner beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian civilization. Wineglass beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the period of the pre-Roman times, goblet vessels were being completed but the fine art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were mostly making glass mosaics.

Romans see glass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is celebrated today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This commanding finding entirely changed the waybeaker would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tedious task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new beaker blowing technique. Rapidly, a whole view of endless possibilities opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a brief instant, Rome started to dominate the schooner marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown goblet and led to the vintage glassware silver that we have today.

Goblet works throughout the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, schooner was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained tumbler windows in the Gothic buildings that dominated most of Europe at that time.

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

Beaker-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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and secluded island of Murano. These Murano schooner blowers almost immediately became the final word in the delicateand era-consuming art of wineglass blowing, creating lovely shapes and types that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the cost if their independence. No artisan or his family unit was allowed to depart the shores of Murano -- it was an offence punishable by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many goblet makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker 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 means mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give technique to lovely schooner mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, vintage glassware silver is much in demand!

Beaker 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 beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown tumbler was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in wineglass in ancient China to the incredible and general use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, semi-transparent paper, not schooner panes. They simply did not see the need for goblet!
