<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 129306, member: 177"]No that would distort the glass also a mold is two or more pieces of metal that is clamped together often around a base plate. A gather of molten glass is placed in the mold and pressed against the pattern sides either with air or by pushing a plunger into the gather and forming the patterned item. Hazel Atlas did not use air like Federal or modern bottle makers. These may well have been automated so that a damaged plunger would not have been caught right away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
