	Glassblowing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the first evidence of man-made glass occurs in Mesopotamia in the Late-Third/Early-Second Millennium BCE, the actual "blowing" of glass using a tube did not occur until sometime between 27 BC and AD 14 in Syria.
		The molten glass is attached to a stainless steel or iron rod called a punty (or a punty rod, or a pontil) for shaping and transferring a hollow piece from the blowpipe for opening.
		The modern torch permits working both the soft glass from the furnace worker and the borosilicate glass (low-expansion) of the scientific glassblower who may have multiple headed torches and special lathes to help form the glass or fused quartz used for special projects.

	Making and working with Glass, from the Glass Encyclopedia
		Glass stays flexible as it cools and can be manipulated by blowing a bubble into it, or pulling it around to make various shapes before it cools and becomes a "super cooled liquid".
		There are many forms of working with glass, some requiring large expensive furnaces and cooling ovens (for glass blowing) whilst others need only a blow torch (for lampworking) or small kiln (for slumped glass).
		It was the Romans who discovered that the fluid property of glass as it cools makes it possible to blow a bubble into the glass and create a vessel.

		Blowing down the boiler is the worst thing you could do to a warm/hot boiler, except blowing it up.

	A Brief History of Glass Blowing
		Nearly a thousand years later one clever Mesopotamian managed to form a glass tube and blow a bubble at the end, creating the first blowpipe and hence the art of glassblowing.

		In 1962 Harvery Littleton reversed this decline of art glass by discovering that some glass could be melted at a low enough temperature to allow the use of small home-studio furnaces.
