Then a bit of air and a round globe would form, after some shaping an opening would be made in the top.
One more heating and it’s ready to be “whirled” into the shape of a floppy dish. So simple…. Only 13 years of experience to get to this point.

Glass blowing
Back in the states we stopped at Stuart, Fl , manatee pockets to be precise and were walking around the town when we came upon a glass blower. It was fascinating to watch him working with molten glass in the 85+ degree heat. He would get a glob out of the furnace and roll it to give it spiral marks. 
Then a bit of air and a round globe would form, after some shaping an opening would be made in the top.
