Dragon-stem Goblet

A dragon-stem goblet has many parts, including a bowl, a foot, and a dragon. Dip molding is used to create the dragon, and the parts are attached with glue bits. This goblet has pincered bits, a merese, an avolio, wings, and eyes. See 360˚ photography and learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmog.org/object/dr...
The Venetian glass industry enjoyed a golden age during the Renaissance. By the early 1500s, the wonders of Venetian glass were well known throughout western Europe. Not well known, however, was how these objects were made. Until now. The result of 30+ years of research by William Gudenrath, The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking - renvenetian.cmog.org - presents 35 complete reconstructions of Venetian glassmaking techniques through detailed 360˚ photography and high-definition video.

wish they did a final shot of the completed glass so we can admire the artwork more.

[@wingman7th937]

Adam Olaso the beginning

[@HangOverMan25]

He dropped it

[@EvelynPotter-xl3ne]

VGC Channel *SMASH* that’s why they didn’t film the end.

[@mamoke]

clearly that is the original venetian goblet, different comb, no litle head side fins, and ofc different collor wings / fins

I'm not sure how I wound up on this channel, but I'm so glad I did! I've watched several videos sp far, and I subscribed so I won't lose it! Watching this video makes me realize magic happens every day, when skilled craftsmen turn sand into art!

The dragon looked more like a sea horse

[@nola1439]

jadkoolkatify it's a 17th century Venetian sea dragon. That's the style.

[@saovayvay]

sea horse have another name is sea dragon :D

[@jadkoolkatify]

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi, there is 360° photography of the original object on renvenetian.cmog.org/object/dragon-stem-goblet, where you can turn and zoom in on the goblet. Thanks for watching!

[@SuperMoofie]

But you don't really get to see much of it.

[@AndrewBoundy]

Yeah, this is amazing but 30-secs of close-in detail and slow 360 of the final item would have finished this video a little better - great job though - incredible skill - thank you.

[@susandavis5201]

You know I watched that thing for 12 and a half minutes and I would like to see that Dragon for more than one second God damn it.

[@Alucia0]

So satisfying to watch. I find this whole process extremely fascinating. Thank you for showing this process.

[@RSK412]

I never get sick of watching the "Rath" blow some glass. thanks for the uploads.

[@vincenttorrijos9680]

I can never get over the fact that, with all these fancy techniques, and a plain set of scissors is an essential part of a glassblowers toolkit

[@FitzChivalry]

That is extraordinary craftsmanship.

[@simonphoenix3789]

its amazing how all these moves are done without a single mistake and within such a short window of time.]

[@vivek73]

Amazing workmanship . God only knows how much of practice and dedication would have gone to work like this.

[@fleshcookie]

I'm an adult and everything but when the guy said, "blown hard" I laughed out loud.

[@RAMPED]

Extremely well done video. Simple, easy to follow edits, great and clear narration. No distracting music. The inclusion of industry terminology and the way it was emphasized in the narration was great. Very well done.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@tylermoulton7294]

[@LordDice1]

This is such a good episode! I've watched it multiple times. Wish I could up vote this master every time. 😁

Great work. I was blown away no pun intended.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@redordead3868]

The skill level is ridiculous, its such a pleasure to watch fully developed skills in action. I have no interest in glass making but i was glued to the whole video.

[@angusmunro2622]

it is nice to see your work again after so many years! beautiful and articulated exactly as my memory serves! nice Bill! good Show!

[@melcaa6361]

I went to the museum a couple years ago. Phenomenal. I really loved it there.

[@Lugosifly]

It's unbelievable how beautiful this piece is. Tell your craftsmen that I admire their work!

[@krazyriti]

that was awesome i want 50! the glassblower dude and the narrator dude are great company to stave off boredom! #bless

[@poelgeestglass]

It is the same person! William Gudenrath is not only a master glass blower, also a very good speaker.

[@krazyriti]

wow, i did not know that! thank you. :)

[@cw5451]

Wow. Wow. Wow. He’s such a skilled craftsman. You know they’re good when they make it look easy.

[@BartzabelAlgol]

I am stunned with every item I watch crafted, such beauty.

[@Ashwinks428]

Simply awesome love it and love his work(perfection)!

[@Eralen00]

Glass blowing looks like an insanely difficult art. Must take a really long time to learn and master. Mind "blowing" !

[@corningmuseumofglass]

It takes 3-5 years to build up those beginning skills and then a lifetime after that of continuous learning. Thanks for watching!

[@hlhughes6114]

I'm glad I "stumbled" on this "glass channel". Fascinating! I've always loved glass artwork, although I don't have the talent to create these pieces (more likely, I would break mine).

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching! If you're interested in learning how to make glass, we have classes for every experience level at The Studio: www.cmog.org/glassmaking/studio/classes.

[@adamw.8579]

Highest level of craftsmanship. Amazing skill.

[@benglaser1345]

I actually visited the Pittsburgh glass center a couple weeks ago and was able to make my own glass paperweight. It was difficult to maneuver at times, but a lot of fun

[@jhenninge]

A lot of your videos lack a complete shot at the end. While you show it at the beginning, think about the process we just went through as viewers.. we see the completion of it but in the end we have no evidence of our experience. I recommend you end every video with a 30 second static or rotation of the product. So beautiful, it seems a shame not to give it it's true moment.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

+Jared H Hi Jared, thanks for your feedback. With this series, the focus is on the process of recreating historical objects from the museum's collection, which you can see with more information and 360˚ photography at renvenetian.cmog.org/object/dragon-stem-goblet. On the Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking site you can rotate and zoom in on the original object.

[@pseudomonad]

even so, it'd be lovely to have side-by-side of the original and the new creation!

Incredible artisanry. But after all that you don't even show a good close up of the finished product. Should be a full frame 360 rotation on plain background.
