To enter the small black ball into the glass ball, the glassblower recommended using a flexible material like a sponge so the central black ball is made with a sponge that can be pressed and entered into the glass ball.
Research: Some researchers have been done on the magnetic field technology, glass-blowing. Due to the increasing stress in human lives, this design can help people to wind down their minds.
