The name for the artwork comes from the word for a molten piece of glass – a 'gob'. The blower blows into the 'gob' and closes the casing around it to let it cool – which is where the expression 'shut your gob' comes from. Trent Valley Glassworks was a worldwide exporter of all things glass, including Chanel perfume bottles.
