- Small flame, intensified by a stream of directed air, into a long, sharp, single point heat source
- "hundreds or possibly thousands of years"
- Blowpipe powered by breath power or later bellows
- Suggests that the origin of the blow-lamp is from 13oos or 1400s for "renaissance Italy in venice" glassworking
- Difficult to find specific evidence. "Oil lamp + blow pipe + glassworking" can place the tech over thousands of years. Can't just place it all three together and say it was there.
- many objects that COULD have been made by lampworking have other methods of construction using tools that ARE specifically documented.
-"It's possible that at SOME POINT..." etc
- His videos focus more on post-1700s scientific work and laboratory glassmaking
- places the origin in the 1300s based on Corning's statement, but I haven't been able to find those myself so far.

- Robert Hooke mentions lampworking in Micrographia in 1665
- A lot of confusion exists because of possible conflations of definition. Working glass in the stingout hole of a furnace, glassblowing in a more traditional sense, etc
- CMOG "cites" wide practicing of lampworking of glass beads in Milano in 14th century
- 1679 Ars Vitraria Experimentalis published, describing lampworking techniques
