Blown Glass Jar with a Cork Lid

A jar is blown like a bottle, but instead of a narrow neck its mouth is opened out on the pontil to nearly the full width of the body, with straight walls and a flat base so it stands and can be filled with a spoon. A wide cork punched from bark makes the lid. All furnace work, the gather, the pontil and the annealing follow the bottle blueprint.

Imiyalelo

1

Gather, blow, pontil and anneal

The furnace, gathering, transfer to the pontil and annealing, step by step.
2

Blow a straight-sided bubble

Gather soda-lime glass, marver it into a cylinder and blow a bubble. Roll it on the marver to keep the walls straight and press the end flat on the marver for the base.

Open the mouth

Reheat the open end and, turning the pontil on the bench rails, open it with the jacks until the mouth is as wide as the body. Fire-polish the rim smooth in the furnace.
