Wineglass with Coin in Stem

This wineglass contains a silver coin, which is found in the stem with many constrictions. Learn more about this object in The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking by William Gudenrath renvenetian.cmog.org/object/wi...
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.

I never thought to trap something inside a stem before. Definitely going to add this technique. Thanks as usual for the great videos.

since copper is compadable with coe 96, could I use a penny as long as it's pre 1837?

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Amazing, but why not just use an actual coin? it would be a lot more appealing and aesthetically pleasing

[@chibi2351]

Sam Chaney I think it’s cause it’ll melt or something. Also I really hate how coin sounds on glass.

[@vickierayhill4637]

The narrator said it was a "silver" dish to represent a coin of the 16-17th century. If they had used a modern coin, which don't contain real silver, perhaps it would have oxidized or discolored in the heat? Or modern coins arent small and thin enough (even a dime would seem too clunky) to make a delightful tinkle in the glass stem.

[@LordDice1]

Possibly just for the demo?

[@Anehab100]

it is a museum...

[@vixiki]

They went to the trouble of using renaissance methods, they could have pressed their own coin...

[@xxMusicSTCxx]

But there are a small hole on the glass when the coin drop

[@radiator7365]

The narrator sounds kinda like the guy from lofty pursuits
