The Corning Museum of Glass unveiled what it believes to be the world’s largest glass pumpkin: a beautiful, giant shiny orange globe measuring in at 97 inches in circumference and weighing in at about 70 pounds.
The giant pumpkin was made by the glassmakers who present the Museum’s live glassblowing demonstrations. The pumpkin-making process took a team of eight glassblowers more than 50 hours of work, 17 attempts, a lot of shattered glass, and a number of lopsided prototypes.
