Sense: "A nearly globular mass taken from a larger supply of a viscous liquid, and no larger than can easily be handled." If actually used in this way, must be in a very specific field. Painting? Pottery? -- Visviva 17:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it does have such a specific definition in some field, my guess would be glassblowing. --EncycloPetey 17:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can determine, the technical term for such a glob in glassblowing is gather. -- Visviva 14:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
