Glass factories have been a feature of this city since the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you enter one of these factories, the temperature rises dramatically because of the furnace (al-furun) located in the center of the factory. The al furun is surrounded by two to four glass blowers who, as though playing a musical instrument, pull the glass out as semi-liquid, and blow through a pipe to form an object. The shaping process continues with a metal instrument (kammasha) and the vessel is complete. Then the glass is put aside into a small chamber adjacent to the furnace to cool down. This process is repeated every two to three minutes in an amazingly fluid movement in spite of the intense heat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hebron Glass Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735079997609,"sku":"HG374","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/3844\/5225\/files\/B60C9B8D-53DD-42E7-87B2-BAF0E7F4997F.jpg?v=1768452116","url":"https:\/\/www.shoppalestine.org\/products\/glass-vase-w-foot-mediterranean","provider":"Shop Palestine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
