A high pressure modular forehearth which receives molten glass under pressure and supplies the molten glass to a plurality of high pressure glass fiber forming bushings is disclosed. Glass is melted in suitable means and is supplied to a modular molten glass column. The high pressure modular forehearth is secured at the lower end of the glass column by a transition module. The modular forehearth is provided with suitable heating elements to maintain the molten glass at a desired temperature. Each module of the forehearth is structured to receive a high pressure glass fiber forming bushing through which the molten glass is forced under pressure to form glass fiber filaments.
