Iittala large Aurinkopallo

<< < (2/2)

glassobsessed:
A steel rod might do the trick without having to worry about steam, can't the metal tools be lubed with something, is it a bit of candlewax? Perhaps I am mixing that up with something else, I use candle wax on wooden drawers to make them run smoothly. The Aurinkopallos must have been blown a second time after the threads were made.

chopin-liszt:
A second blowing would make sense.
But candlewax would burn, leaving a black carbon residue which would create bubbles.
It looks like an almost impossibly delicate thing to achieve, especially with such a pure clear and even colour.

glassobsessed:
Pretty much what you can see where this was snapped off.
