The Lehr
A lehr is a type of kiln

glasswork. It is used
for the process or
annealing glass. It
helps stabilize the
temperature distribution
in glass objects to
reduce the stress on the
glass and therefor
prevent cracking.
thermally insulated chamber used
to control temperatures necessary
for various processes, such as
