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 living in the province of Syria were the earliest to fortuitously stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and tradition blanket the genuine discovery of beaker. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no Water Glasses today!

Glass manufacture in the Egyptian era The exquisite, and very nearly ethereal, shapes that schooner makers produce today have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., glass beads had begun adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Glass 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, glass vessels were being made but the fine art of tumbler blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were commonly making schooner mosaics.

Romans see beaker blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that beaker blowing, as it is well-known today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This controlling discovery entirely changed the methodbeaker would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The tiresome task of wrapping glass around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Suddenly, a whole outlook of endless promise opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a short instant, Rome began to dominate the glass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome soon became the ancient world's epicentre for construction and supply of blown wineglass and led to the Water Glasses that we have today.

Tumbler workings in the Middle Ages for the duration of the Middle Ages, goblet was primarily made as coloured ornamentation for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that wineglass blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 beaker artisans all through the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their beaker blowing secrets and techniques 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, wineglass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano wineglass blowers almost immediately became the ultimate word in the delicateand time-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating exquisite shapes and styles that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price tag if their independence. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to leave the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans break out to Europe Still, many wineglass makers did manage to escape 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 goblet was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the technique mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give mode to lovely tumbler mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, Water Glasses is much in demand!

Wineglass blowing in China There is not much known about schooner being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic 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 thought that blown schooner was introduced to China by Persian goblet artists. Historians now attribute the limited awareness in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for goblet!
