Watch experts at The Corning Museum of Glass recreate one of the stranger glass pieces made in Roman times---a jug inside of another, larger jug! This video was featured in the exhibit "Reflecting Antiquity" at The Corning Museum of Glass, February 15 - May 27, 2008.

  • Glassblowers use wax to lubricate the jacks so they glide smoothly over the surface and don't scratch it, they also tend to make an irritating screeching noise not unlike nails on a chalkboard without it. If there's an excess amount of wax or the glass is really hot the wax will flare up like you see in the video.

  • Oh thanks for that! I appreciate the answer.

    Glassblowing is so interesting to watch, I would love to try it sometime.
