| Description: | Another craftsman makes a swan from glass. It is an ashtray and we see a smoking cigarette lying in the ashtray. A man stands on two paddles above a trough of water. Moving the paddles dips a mould into the water which he dips the glass into. He blows the glass to make a light bulb shape. Extra glass is put onto the end of the shape and it is rolled backwards and forwards. A woman is seen at a machine. She seems to be cutting the excess glass away. Woman works at a filing wheel smoothing the drinking edge of a glass. Glassware is displayed. Woman holds large bowl up to the light to inspect it. | |
