Tumbler making goes back a extensive era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the province of Syria were the first to accidentally stumble upon a new and useful substance called 'beaker'. However, many myths and folklore cloak the actual finding of glass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no xmas glass ornaments today!

Goblet production in the Egyptian epoch The lovely, and nearly ethereal, shapes that wineglass makers create now have advanced over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet 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. For the period of the pre-Roman times, wineglass vessels were being completed but the fine art of glass blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were commonly making wineglass mosaics.

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

In a little time, Rome started to dominate the goblet marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown schooner and led to the xmas glass ornaments that we have today.

Goblet workings for the period of the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, glass was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained schooner windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the majority of Europe at that era.

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

Tumbler-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, beaker-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano tumbler blowers presently became the very last word in the delicateand era-consuming art of schooner blowing, creating beautiful shapes and designs that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the cost if their freedom. No artisan or his family was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans get away to Europe Still, many beaker makers did manage to break out 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 goblet artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metal mirrors began to give way to lovely beaker mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, xmas glass ornaments is much in demand!

Glass blowing in China There is not much known about tumbler 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 assumed that blown goblet was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the restricted attention in goblet in ancient China to the incredible and extensive use of paper technology. For example, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, translucent paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for tumbler!
