What happens if you use it?
A flask or tincture gains quality.
Its item identity and modifiers remain.
The target already serves a useful role and the application is efficient.

A Glassblower's Bauble raises the quality of a flask or tincture. The target keeps its identity and modifiers. Quality develops that existing item rather than replacing it with a different flask or producing a fresh random roll.
Check item level, rarity, and present quality first.
The PoE1 directions say baubles have greater effect on lower-item-level, non-unique flasks and ordinarily cap quality at 20%. They also include tinctures. Pick a target worth keeping and calculate how many applications the target actually needs.
Quality does not replace unwanted modifiers or make the wrong flask type useful. PoE2's imported directions mention flasks but not tinctures, so the target rules should remain game-specific.
Bulk convenience is different from item quality.
Players may exchange baubles in quantity for routine flask preparation, but that activity does not tell you whether a specific flask deserves them. Read current supply separately from the permanent effect.
