What does PUNTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A solid iron rod used in glassblowing to hold a piece of hot glass while it is being shaped or finished.
A glassblower attaches a punty to the base of a piece while it is still soft, allowing the object to be turned and reworked at the opposite end after it is cut free from the blowpipe. The mark left where the punty is later snapped off, called a punty mark, is one way collectors identify handmade glass. The word also appears as pontil or pontee in different glassmaking traditions, all describing the same working rod. Because it belongs to a specialised craft, punty is heard almost entirely among glassblowers, collectors, and writers on glass history.
