conciator
The person who prepares the materials to be made into glass, and/or works and tempers them.
Why this one
A Venetian title from the Murano furnaces, where batch mixing was a named job rather than a step: the conciator held the recipe, and the gaffer at the bench depended on it being right.
In use
No point blaming the blower for that streak; ask the conciator what went into the batch last night.
