Glass making goes back a extensive time, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the area of Syria were the first to by mistake stumble upon an innovative and useful substance called 'goblet'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the genuine finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no vintage glassware soap today!

Tumbler making in the Egyptian epoch The lovely, and virtually ethereal, shapes that tumbler makers generate now have developed over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., beaker beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Goblet 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 made but the fine art of wineglass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were generally making goblet mosaics.

Romans discover tumbler blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This powerful discovery entirely changed the modewineglass would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tedious task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole vista of limitless potential opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

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

Wineglass workings during the Middle Ages all through the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained glass 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 alteration and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no fewerthan 8,000 schooner artisans for the duration of the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their goblet blowing secrets 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!

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 schooner blowers almost immediately became the very last word in the delicateand period-consuming art of beaker blowing, creating beautiful shapes and types that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the price tag if their freedom. No artisan or his relatives 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 schooner makers did manage to escape Murano and it was they who spread the art of goblet 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 tumbler artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the method mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors began to give means to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, vintage glassware soap is much in demand!

Beaker blowing in China There is not much known about glass being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant 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 supposed that blown tumbler was introduced to China by Persian schooner artists. Historians now attribute the limited attention in wineglass in ancient China to the incredible and widespread use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not tumbler panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
