A battledore is a glassworker's tool in the form of a square wooden paddle with a handle, used to smooth the bottoms of vessels and other blown glass objects. No standalone Wikipedia article exists for the tool; this description is drawn from the one-sentence entry in Wikipedia's own Glossary of glass art terms, honestly short rather than padded past what that source states.
