Next to welding rings, putting on handles is interesting to a stranger. Handled goods require very careful annealing, and the breakage often takes place at or contiguous to the handle, although the blow may be given elsewhere; great risk is, therefore, incurred in cutting.

For making a quart jug of four pounds weight or more, it is necessary to gather a ball of solid glass of eight or sixteen ounces weight, as A. When it has cooled sufficiently, (technically called chilled,) the full quantity may be obtained by the second dip or gathering, which has to be marvered and blown as B; and, after swinging, re-warming, and shaping with the battledore, the form somewhat approximates its ultimate shape, C. The foot is then added and opened, as D; the punty iron is next stuck to the middle of the foot, and the mouth rewarmed and sheared, as E. Again re-warming the mouth, it is opened by the pucellas, and a piece of hollow Glass, previously prepared, F, presses down or shapes out the lip; whilst the temperature being below welding heat, the glasses do not adhere. The lip or spout is then
