*Making of Hollow Wares by Core Techniques*: Hollow wares as evidenced from Devnimori, Amreli, Ter etc look to have been made by core technique. A stick or a rod with conical end was coated with a ball of sand held together by cloth bag. This was either dipped into molten glass and immediately taken out or thin canes of glass in semi-molten condition were wound around the core and fire polished. In both the cases, the core was removed on cooling and hollow ware was produced.
