A molten glass gob delivery guide is disclosed that includes a chute having an upstream end, a downstream end, a rear surface, and a front surface. The chute is comprised of a gas permeable material and is able to accommodate the permeable flow of a permeating gas from the rear surface to the front surface of the chute. When a molten glass gob is conveyed along the chute over the front surface of the chute, the permeating gas flows permeably through the chute to establish a gas cushion that displaces the glass gob away from the front surface of the chute, which creates a thermal break between the glass gob and the chute. In this way, heat loss from the molten glass gob to the chute can be minimized as the gob travels along the chute.
