A long time ago I saw these glass bowls, and fell in love with the shape. Did contact the artist in case he/she wanted to share where to get the mold, but reply was that it was a found object.
Haven't been lucky to find something as nice as those, so thought would try shape below:
Lined it with aluminium foil to see how big the glass piece has to be (a trick I had read on this board). As you can see in this picture, the glass should be quite a bit longer and wider than the mold itself.
It is the first time I am attempting something like this, and can't quite figure out how to support the glass so that as it bends it falls into the mold and somehow works out all right.
Is it very tricky to do? Is this done with kilnwashed posts?

If yes, advice on how high above the mold would be great. Does anyone has a picture of a similar set up? The pointy ends of the mold are about 1" higher than the lowest part of the side curves.
Don't really expect the first one to be great, just to avoid a big disaster while I am learning
