The form referenced in Dylan Brams's "039 to 058" piece in the New Glass Now exhibition is the Venetian ampolina (or ampollina) form.
According to William Gudenrath's The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking, "An ampollina is a vessel similar in purpose to the Amphora, but smaller in size."
The Amphora, according to the Glass Dictionary on The Corning Museum of Glass website is, simply, "a jar with two handles."
