The ancient technique of inflating a gob of molten glass gathered on the end of a blowpipe. The glass blower, known as a “gaffer,†blows through the tube, gently inflating the gob, which is then shaped by rolling it on a marver, swinging it, or manipulating the molten glass with tools. Though Ocean Glass has a proud history going back over 100 years, our production methods today involve 21st century engineering and artistry, allowing us to create durable, beautiful, and affordable home glass decor products from more than 40,000 lbs of molten glass each day.
