Blown glass is a manufacturing process where a glassblower shapes molten glass by inflating it with a blowpipe. The glass is heated until it becomes soft and malleable, then shaped by blowing air into it and molding it with tools or hands. This process allows for the creation of various shapes and intricate designs, often seen in art, vases, and decorative items. Skilled artisans control temperature, pressure, and shaping techniques to produce both functional and ornamental objects, making blown glass a durable yet delicate craft that highlights craftsmanship and design.
