    • 2010 -, Charlotte Hempel, The Dead Sea Scrolls: Texts and Context, →ISBN, page 111:
      Free-blown tablewares and bottles were found in substantial numbers at ʿEin Boqeq, the village of ʿEin Gedi, Masada, Jericho, Machaerus, 'Ein ez-Zara, and even in the cell structures at 'Ein Gedi. It seems that free-blown glass was a common possession in the Dead Sea region, and the Qumranites possessed such wares like everyone else.
    • 2014, Rob Collins, Frances McIntosh, Life in the Limes, →ISBN:
      Multiple copies of identical glass vessels with surfaces quite distinct from those on contemporary free-blown or moulded glass were produced and the vessels became a significant, though minor, part of the glass tablewares in circulation for about a half a century thereafter.
    • 2017, Ellen Swift, Roman Artefacts and Society: Design, Behaviour, and Experience, →ISBN:
      Roman glass occurs in both mould-blown and free-blown forms, this providing an opportunity to consider particular production methods in relation to user experience.
