Rolled glass
Single roll
Molten glass is poured onto a metal table and a single metal roll is used to flatten it into a sheet.
Double roll
Molten glass is passed between a pair of rotating metal rolls to form the sheet.

Codd Bottles
In 1870, Hiram Codd designed and patented a system for keeping fizzy drinks in bottles with a glass marble stopper. When the bottle is filled, pressure in the bottle keeps the marble against a rubber washer at the top making a seal. To open the bottle, the marble is pressed down into the neck chamber. Tried changing marble shape to oval to dissuade children from breaking the bottles to get the marbles.

Ramune Bottle
In its early days, Ramune was sold in a bottle with a cork cap wound tight with wire to keep the cork from popping out. In 1888, when Codd's patent rights expired, Tamakichi Tokunaga, of Osaka, began developing a Ramune bottle using a marble cap throughout Japan. As to how the first soda arrived in Japan is another question. Some think that it was Admiral Perry in 1853 while others believe it was on a British merchant ship in 1860. Whichever way I'm glad it is still around to enjoy.
