Clowns and other entertainers were far more prevalent, and very skilled (think vaudeville and circuses), before television killed most of the live-entertainment industry, so bubble-making has probably been around for quite a while. The straw style of bubble-maker was all the rage in the 17th century.
I'm sure bubbles have been known for as long as soap and fingers (liquid soaps, made from oils, were in use long before solid block soaps were invented, and they are good for making bubbles), but when humans figured out how to make the big sausage-shaped bubbles, I don't know.
I'm not sure what else it might be, something to scoop and sift liquids? To strain out impurities?
