Enameled Goblet

This goblet is made using mezza-stampatura, also known as mezza-forma (Italian, “half mold”). With this technique, vertical ribs are made on the lower part of a blown object by inflating the bottom half of the parison into a dip mold. The goblet shown in this video is decorated with gilding and enameling. Learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmog.org/object/en...
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.

To think they had figured all of this out back in the 16th century is truly remarkable to me. What a great presentation!

[@sir9integra9jr]

i binge watched these videos when i was on a trip to seattle and now they make me think of lying on a hotel bed like 70% drunk and eating pizza and being completely absorbed by bill gudenrath's soothing voice

Dumb alcoholic! Let’s grab a beer

[@zackjordan4395]

Awesome work Mr William Gudenrath

[@ATMAtim]

Another fascinating piece made by Bill. He makes it look so easy.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Agreed, thanks for watching!

[@jaybusa3302]

This dude is amazing. A true artist....

[@FuturesPast1]

Even though this is Italian Venetian glass, it looks a lot like the enameled glass that was made in Bohemia in the 19th and early 20th century like Moser glass, etc. Watching all the hard work that went into these pieces, made me really appreciate my antique enamel glass collection even more!! I didn't know they still made glass like this today. Great video!!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching! We're glad you have a newfound appreciation for your collection.

[@Dave-yl8rf]

I liked it more when it was just transparent with the gold leaf

[@TaurusPresents]

Very good video about glassblowing project technics.

[@sir9integra9jr]

those 18th century venetians had some crazy ideas man

[@deagoldylocks8337]

I felt like I went through a whole journey here, seeing how that cup was made

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@nondescript4311]

Watching it in the middle of night with headphones, an occasional clank made me think there was sound coming from my house 😂

[@ellenmurphy2150]

I liked it without color as well but what an amazing video--he's such a talented artist.

[@patriciaruanova2138]

It’s so beautiful....

[@jaykay415]

Thank you. This is a beautiful project, and amazing to see the process!

[@IntenseDarknessable]

This is amazing... How did I end up here?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

+IntenseDarknessable We don't know, but glad you're here. Thanks for watching!

[@jakubdegler]

Fantastic

[@renatewallenstein1236]

sehr schön.

[@user-et5uc4gz3p]

Невероятно здорово получилась такая красота

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@saratabasum4590]

wow amazing

[@lailiagustin5002]

It is beautiful

[@kcsticker8494]

Wow so good

[@ArtyFartyBart]

The glassblowing and shaping is so meticulous, and then the gold leaf is applied and engraved so poorly.

[@delostler2724]

Great until he painted the stuff on it. The gold was poorly applied.

[@salmanshahmyfavoritevideo2111]

nicely done. how much price anyone buy it

[@cleidecaraca275]

Bealtiful

[@marckornbluh1174]

Amazing craftsmanship.

[@lili9639]

I think this can be done streamline

[@Gaevdeuf]

It was better without colour

[@biqishao964]

This really takes work...

[@cake5328]

Hi! I'm currently working on some casted piece that I want to enamel and I've checked with reusche but I can't seem to find any gold enamels that fire under 1400 degrees. Do you guys have any recommendations or sources that I could look into? Thank you so much!!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

I'm sorry , but I don't know of any gold bearing enamels that fire below that range. Perhaps a ceramic gold lustre might work, but I'm not sure. You could try talking to a ceramics supply company. Thanks so much for asking.

[@cake5328]

Corning Museum of Glass Thank you so much for answering! Also I found out today that bullseye makes a gold enamel that fires at 800. It's more of a satin than a metallic but it's still the best option I've found. Thanks again!

[@cloy.1644]

just askin but did anyone else turn the volume off n jus watched him make the glass

[@HenrietteAndersen26]

Randomness Girl xD turned down the volume...

[@alexandererbe9824]

I like the ambiant noise of the workshop too much

[@MrOverran]

make me thirst, good. beautiful goblet my freinds

[@tabbycat6458]

You have to see the website woooow

[@shiloreno9917]

How much does a piece like this cost?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

+Shilo Reno Thanks for watching, Shilo! It would be impossible to put a value on these priceless recreations, so we really can't say. If you're interested in glass made by Bill Gudenrath that is available for purchase, check out the Museum Shops here glassmarket.cmog.org/browse.cfm/william-gudenrath/2,115.html

[@23Scadu]

That link doesn't work anymore, but I found the current one: shops.cmog.org/made-locally/william-gudenrath.html I wanted to buy one of his pieces for myself, but unfortunately the shipping to Europe was just a bit too steep for me.

[@rabiaarif2804]

Duffer coloring without color is look beauty

[@Romari7]

I am ignorant with glass making, (I've never tried it...but I want to!) but I have a question, why did you shape the glass after you decorated the goblet?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

The glas needs to be reheated to fully fire / fuse the enameled glass onto the surface. With traditional enamels (not contemporary low-fire ones) that happens at a temperature above where the glass will soften. The piece is picked up and reshaped to help accommodate this softening of the base glass and ensure the enamel is completely fired on.

[@Romari7]

Corning Museum of Glass Oh, thank you!

[@beatricehan8849]

Centripetal force...haha, I learned about this in physics class...

[@user-qz9bg2tj1g]

แจ๊สดี จังนะนะจ๊ะ

[@RudeCnt]

What the hell am I doing, I have finals tomorrow.

[@Ch.Parvezz]

Brie Gambeski go to hell

[@sergeychirkin4776]

за такой декор могут и по морде врезать! Работа с горячим стеклом отличная, декор эмалями - срамота

[@lisamaynard9304]

There's a mistake made in narration. The last time the piece is put in the annealing oven, the narrator says "The piece is broken free of the blow pipe" but its actually attached to a punty.

[@belacickekl7579]

It's definitely a habit of calling all the sticks "blow pipes"; I feel like most glass blowers have done that at one point or another haha

[@diegofloor]

The narrator sounds like ben wyatt from parks and recreation

[@WieslawG]

K

[@FuturesPast1]

I wish I could learn how to make glass, but I'm clumsy. I would probably end up in the burn unit for another 3 months if I tried learning how to do this, lol As a burn survivor, this made me feel a little too nervous, lol.

[@ANathan123]

Cup is cool. The extra decoration looks rushed and poorly done

[@aubryanacovers1897]

So if I bought a glass cup that was hand made I would drinking this guys hot breath?

[@parkjimin6253]

Au8bsss - You wash the cup first.

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

That gold leaf looked as if a 5 year old had applied it. Absolutely terrible job!

[@jimmythepowerful]

Wtf is that ?!

[@cinema.zipfile]

wish I could punch the narrator with that goblet

[@Vesirinkeli]

This is so ugly!

[@biqishao964]

This really takes work...
