DIP MOLDS  Dip molds were used to blow pieces of glass to be was is called "optic".  Glass is gathered on the end of a blowpipe.  A puff is made to cause the gather to be somewhat hollow.  It is then placed in one of these small molds causing the glass to take the shape of the design within.  At this point we have a ribbed item.  To continue heating this gather at the glory hole and expanding it.  The larger it is blown, the less we see the ribs.  The glass is left distorted or "optic".
