The Bologna Bottle Today
Perhaps there are some financial impediments to the free exchange of knowledge on this subject. One is a magical effect based on the principle sold for $1000 a pop, until a recent decimation to $100 (involving the alleged imprisonment of the creator of the original devil's flask, for unrelated charges), and perhaps another is simply selling the bottles for reasonably pricey science demonstrations. Another possibility is that many glassblowers in the world know how to make these and simply don't because they are perceived dangerous or useless, and it is for this same reason that easily accessible knowledge is not forthcoming.

“Let us not succumb to nature. We will marshall the clouds and restrain tempests; we will bottle up pestilent exhalations; we will probe for earthquakes, grub them up, and give vent to the dangerous gas; we will disembowel the volcano, and extract its poison, take its seed out. We will wash water, and warm fire, and cool ice, and underprop the earth. We will teach birds to fly, and fishes to swim, and ruminants to chew the cud. It is time we looked into these things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the mountains of truth you will never climb in vain: either you will already get further up today or you will exercise your strength so that you can climb higher tomorrow.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
