History of the cup Expensive beverages, tea, coffee and chocolate give rise to services that are mainly used for consumption but also dedicated to collectors' items, without it always being possible to distinguish the different uses. The size of the services also varies, and the pieces that make up the services are made using multiple techniques that fall under the heading of goldsmithing or ceramics. The earliest known example of a pottery vessel capable of keeping a liquid hot or cold is an ancient Chinese pottery jar dating from the Tang Dynasty (618-907). A scholar, Xu Xiake, mentioned the origin of porcelain in his book "Zhongguo chuantong shi" (中國出现的歷史), published in the 1730s, which describes that Emperor Muzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the creation of high quality porcelain during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, who was also the Emperor's wife. We have no idea how old these ceramic cups are, but they have certainly been around for a long time! They were made in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), and by that time there were already about 20 different types of ceramic cups on the market; in addition, there were many others made by potters, all of whom used clay from different sources in the country, with varying degrees of skill and quality control!

History of the cup Tea was introduced during the Chinese Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). The more than four centuries of Han Dynasty rule are widely regarded as one of the "golden ages" of Chinese history. With the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the pottery industry developed and many types of vessels appeared on the market. The need for a container to drink tea led to the development of the cup, especially the handleless cup in China. Europe discovered tea in the 17th century with the development of trade relations between East and West, but Europeans preferred to drink their tea very hot. The handle was therefore invented in Europe by the German Johann Friedrich Bottger in 1707. In France, the ordinances of 1699 and 1709, which restricted the use of precious metals, encouraged the development of ceramics, particularly earthenware and porcelain, which played an increasingly important role in the creation of cabarets (lunch services) for serving exotic drinks. Throughout the 18th century, there were many innovations in decoration, technique and form.

Vintage mug with teenage...





History of the cup We know the story of the pottery kiln from an ancient Chinese poem, the "Shuihuzhuan" (poem about the origin of objects). It reads as follows... There was once a man named Zhou Bo, who had a son named Lu Buwei, who had a daughter named Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was the first person to make porcelain ware, which she then presented to her father, who liked it so much that he gave her this land, where she built a kiln and started making pots for sale, with her father's blessing (he needed the money, after all!). She sold them very well and soon became rich; however, she wanted to give something back to her parents for their generosity, so she asked her father if he would accept these two cups, which she said were the best ever made. One day Lu Buwei decided to build a kiln so that his sister, Jiang Wei, could make pots. He went into the forest to collect clay and saw beautiful pieces of glazed porcelain lying in the ground among the roots of the trees! He took them home, and the next morning he called his son, Lu Buwei, and told him to take these pieces of porcelain to make pots, and then took him to see the kiln where they had been collected.

History of the cup Long ago, before we had cups or even pots, people drank from clay calabashes or jars that they made themselves by hand using the local materials available at the time. No wonder it took them so long to invent a pottery vessel that could keep a liquid hot or cold without burning up! As to who actually invented the cup, it is not entirely clear! But it was in ancient times that pottery cups were used for drinking water and other beverages in Asia and Africa, as well as in Europe and North America. The oldest cups found in different parts of the world are clay vessels that were discovered in Egypt during excavations conducted between 1933 and 1938 by the archaeologist Amelia Biliotti. They date back to 4000 BC and have certain similarities with today's ceramic cups. In ancient times, drinking vessels were mainly used to store water, not to drink it, as most modern glasses are today! The cup used to be made of wood in the countryside, and of thick earthenware in the cabarets where it was often decorated with floral motifs.

How many celebrations, birthdays and other sad events we would miss without candles. Candles were invented a long time ago. Back in the days of candles and oil lamps, before the 19th century. In the old days, lighting was limited to candles, oil lamps and torches. These sources of light were expensive, dangerous to fire and inefficient.

In the Middle Ages, candles were a luxury reserved for the rich, while commoners often found themselves in darkness as soon as the sun went down.

Insulated bottle with...

Insulated bottle In the USA (continued) The first insulated bottle was probably designed by the English scientist Sir James Dewar in 1896. In 1892, Dewar had invented a special flask that is still in use today and is attributed to him by his name. Dewar created his isothermal bottle by sealing one bottle inside another and pumping air between them. This created a vacuum, which is an effective insulator. Dewar never patented his invention, however. It was the German glass blower Reinhold Burger and his partner Albert Aschenbrenner, who made bottles for Dewar, who decided to market Dewar's invention. Burger and Aschenbrenner organised a competition to name Dewar's device. A Munich resident suggested the name thermos from the Greek word threm, which means hot. Together with Gustav von Paalen, Burger and Aschenbrenner formed a company to manufacture Dewar's invention and called it Thermos GmbH. 1904, THERMOS MARKETS THE FIRST ISOTHERMAL BOTTLE Paalen, Burger and Aschenbrenner only registered the now well-known name Thermos in 1906, the same year they met the American businessman William B. Walker in Berlin. Walker learned of their invention and obtained exclusive rights to manufacture and market it in the United States. The American Thermos Bottle Company was incorporated on 31 January 1907 in Portland, Maine, and established production in Brooklyn, New York. The Thermos insulated bottle quickly gained popularity in the United States. Famous users include President Taft; explorers Lieutenant EH Shackleton, who took his to the South Pole and Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, who took his to the Arctic; Colonel Roosevelt on an expedition to Mombasa; Richard Harding Davis on a trip to the African Congo; Count Zeppelin, who took his in his hot air balloon; and the Wright brothers in their aeroplane.

Insulated bottle with...

Insulated bottle In the USA The first fully automatic machine for making various types of glass bottles and jars did not appear until 1903, when an employee of a Toledo, Ohio fireplace lamp company named Michael J. Owens put the Owens bottle machine into commercial use. The Owens bottle machine revolutionised the industry by enabling the inexpensive and large-scale production of glass bottles. Together with the Crown bottle stopper, it also helped stimulate the soft drink industry on a large scale. By 1920, most bottles were produced on Owens machines or on machines based on Owens' invention. In the early 1940s, manufacturers began using blow moulding machines to produce plastic bottles. Blow moulding is a process in which tiny pellets of plastic resin are heated and forcefully injected into a mould in the shape of the product. As the product cools, it takes on the shape of the mould. The first plastic bottles were squeezable and made of polyethylene. Nat Wyeth, a relative of the American artist Andrew Wyeth, designed the first plastic bottle strong enough to hold soft drinks for the Du Pont company.

Insulated bottle In the United Kingdom 1892, the Dewar vase The Scottish chemist and physicist Sir James Dewar (1842-1923) was the first to produce liquid hydrogen, which was the coldest substance ever produced. To store this cryogenic material at very low temperatures, he constructed insulated boxes from cork, hay or crumpled newspapers, but none of these solutions held the liquids sufficiently. He then discovered and improved the Arsonval vessel. In 1892, he proposed his version of the double-walled glass vacuum flask that bears his name, the Dewar flask. It takes the form of a glass balloon with a straight neck. The narrow space between the two walls is almost entirely free of air, this partial vacuum prevents heat conduction and convection for better insulation. He added silver as a metallic coating to prevent radiation. This invention eliminates any possibility of heat transfer by conduction, convection or radiation. He hired a professional glass blower to make a stronger balloon. In 1898, he used this container to transport and introduce liquid hydrogen to the world. An isothermal bottle to personalize it has become mandatory! You will get that at Gifts-custopolis.com undeniably.

Isothermal bottle with...

Isothermal bottle In the USA The first bottle and glass factory in the USA was founded in 1608 in Virginia. In the 1800s, new variations of the glass bottle appeared. The baby bottle, for example, was patented in 1841. However, the concept was not new. In ancient times, babies were fed with a bottle with two openings. One opening was used to pour the liquid into the bottle and the second opening was placed in the baby's mouth. The 16th century bottle looked like a duck; the baby was fed through its beak. Glassblower John L. Mason designed the first glass jar with a screw top in 1858, the now famous Mason jar. In the mid-19th century, Dr Hervey Thatcher invented the glass milk bottle. The Coca-Cola Company introduced the first soft drink bottle in 1915. Several other brands followed, each with its own distinctive bottle shape. The shape and weight of soft drink bottles were standardised after 1934", but standardisation is relative, as each brand differs in its design and increasingly in the contents of the bottle. "The bottle manufacturing" process was first automated in 1865 with the introduction of a press and blow machine. An isothermal bottle to personalize has become essential!

Insulated bottle with...

Insulated bottle History "The first known bottles made of glass were created by the Egyptians around 1500 BC. The bottles were formed by placing molten glass around a core of sand and clay. The core was then hollowed out once the glass had cooled. Making the bottles was a long and complicated process, so they were considered a luxury item in ancient Egypt. Around 200 BC, glass bottles were made in China and Persia, as well as in Egypt, using a method of blowing molten glass into a mould. The Romans later adopted the same method and the technique spread throughout Europe in the 1400s and 1500s. In France 1888, the Arsonval vase An important step was taken by the physicist Arsène d'Arsonval (1851-1940), one of the greatest French scientists. He invented a revolutionary container, the d'Arsonval vase. In 1888 he introduced the first double-walled glass bottle with an internal vacuum. Although we generally use the isothermal bottle to keep our drinks hot, it was originally designed to store liquid air at very low temperatures for several days. His colleague, the physicist Violle, improved it by coating the inner surface with a thin metal layer to reduce radiation losses. Thus was born the very first isothermal bottle in France. With a height of 40 cm and a diameter of 20 cm, this hemispherical vase is made up of a highly insulating silver double wall with an internal vacuum.
