May i know what is the pieces stick on the glass that looks like aluminum foil?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

They are gold (23 or 24 karat) and silver (.999 pure) leaf.

[@Santiaenid]

Wonderful demonstration but the sound was too low.

[@hobowner]

From watching I believe that this is Bullseye glass, is that correct?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

I believe that this demo was done using Effetre (Moretti) glass rods, not bullseye.

[@taytay9695]

How is the bead removed?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi taytay9695, bead release is applied to the metal rod before making the bead, so the glass slips off after cooling. Thanks for watching!
