Journey
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003139
The full working cycle in a pot furnace, from charging the pot with raw materials (batch) to working out the molten glass until the pot is empty. A single journey involves melting, fining, and cooling the glass to a working temperature, followed by the period during which glassblowers gather from the pot. The duration of a journey can last from several hours to a few days, depending on the size of the pot and the type of glass being produced.
