A stone, or cast-iron plate, or former, on which hot glass is rolled to give it shape.
Flat metal plate onto which the article being blown may be pressed or rolled when being shaped. Sometimes deliberately covered with fragments of broken glass or pieces of cane which then fuse to the exterior of the article
Metal, marble or graphite plate, most often steel, used for rolling glass to a cylinder or cone and chilling the surface to firm it for blowing. Should be large enough to roll largest piece over a more than one turn (over 2' for 8" piece) Some marvers are mounted at an angle or are adjustable to an angle which makes for easier work when many pieces are to be made with a tapered shape. A marver may have textured surface (see also Cane Marver . ) Homemade $10-35 from steel scrap yard, or Steinert $75 textured 16" long. Stephen Powell using marver to pickup colored murrini on hot glass at GAS Conf.
a hard, smooth surface for rolling hot glass on, used in glassmaking
Slab of stone or iron used for rolling gather on.
a small metal plate that is smooth on one side and has a pattern on the reverse side
a tool for shaping the bead while it's still soft
A smooth, flat iron surface on which the gather of molted glass at the end of a pontil rod is rolled.
iron or marble table where molten glass gathered onto the end of the blow pipe is rolled into a symmetrical mass so it can be blown.
(French marbre, "marble") A smooth, flat surface, on which softened glass is rolled when attached to the blowpipe or pontil in order to smooth it or to consolidate applied decoration.
A flat steel plate that's used for the picking up color chips or the shaping of molten glass on the end of a blowpipe or pipe with a rolling action. A Marver can also help in the uneven cooling of the glass for a desired effect.
a metal slab upon which a gather of glass is rolled. IGCB
large stainless steel flat surface used to roll hot glass to shape.
The marver is a metal table used to shape, chill and center the piece. Marvering at different angles is a tricky but necesssary skill for glassblowers to master.
A smooth, flat surface typically made of steel or granite, where hot glass is rolled in order to smooth or shape it. The glass blower can also use the heat absorption properties of the marver to control what parts of the glass cools quicker, thereby controlling what parts will expand when it is inflated.
A heavy flat plate, usually of steel, used to cool, center and shape glass during the glassblowing process.
A Marver is a tool used in glassblowing. It generally is made of a polished steel surface attatched to a metal or wooden table. A warm piece of glass is rolled on the marver, for two reasons: controlling temperature and adjusting shape.
