Sounds more like Bessie discovered the new use, not Jessie. EDIT: The Corning Museum of Glass credits them both- while noting that it was Jesse’s idea to try it. https://pyrex.cmog.org/content/littletons https://pyrex.cmog.org/content/littletons Incidentally the Corning Museum of Glass has an a YouTube channel worth checking out. They have a bunch of long, well-shot glass artists doing some incredible work, start to finish- good videos to play in the background while working on other things.
