punty

This term is highly specialized technical jargon used exclusively within the craft of glassblowing. It refers to a specific tool that allows the artisan to move the glass object from the blowpipe to a different support, enabling the shaping of the opening or rim without the blowpipe obstructing the work.

Because it is a niche professional term, it is rarely encountered outside of artisanal glass studios or historical texts on glassmaking. It does not have a common metaphorical or colloquial usage in general English.
