This video shows, first, the four elements of the goblet and a fifth element for the finial of the lid being made and placed in an oven. Next, the assembly process begins. After the foot element has been attached to a pontil, the other parts are added and adhered together using small amounts of glass-'glue bits’-freshly gathered from the furnace. The lid is made and then, while it is held from the inside with a pontil, the cross-topped crown-shaped finial is attached.

Between about 1500 and 1725, Venice was nearly the sole supplier of fine luxury glass to the royal and aristocratic, the wealthy and powerful, throughout Europe. The Venetian government went to extreme measures to protect its lucrative and prestigious monopoly by isolating the highly skilled workers on the nearby island of Murano and severely restricting their movements. However, with the promise of personal freedom and the hope of fortune, they gradually fled the lagoon to set up workshops in a variety of locations on the Continent and in England.
The Techniques of Renaissance Venetian-Style Glassworking - renvenetianstyle.cmog.org - presents detailed 360° photography and high-definition video related to objects from nine glassworking centers influenced by Venetian style as researched by master glassmaker and scholar William Gudenrath.
The resource is a follow-up to Gudenrath's popular Techniques of Renaissance Venetian Glassworking (2016) also available free online at renvenetian.cmog.org.

He has this incredible skill with glassworking, so that he can replicate those old masterpieces. I wonder what his own ideas of glasswork look like

I've watched this craftsman make several things and it's amazing to watch him work - such fluid technicality is awe-inspiring. Great narration and editing on this. It says (does) a lot I find myself stopping to scroll back on what seemed like a just a moment of looking away or not listening. I'm not trying to learn how to do this, it's just worthwhile to see the entire process as described even for a non-glass worker, every moment counts yet W/O missing bits. 👏 Thank you for putting these out for me to watch a process, a craftsman and an artistry I would not be able to otherwise.

Brilliant! He is sooo talented! He makes it seem soo easy yet it is obvious it requires precision. He uses almost no measuring tool but yet everything is well balanced and symetric! I could go on and on on how he masters his art but my comment would be too long! And his narration is perfect 👍👍👍

Is Gudenrath making the goblet from a special kind of glass (lead perhaps), or is he just that good with regular soda glass? o.o

I got two questions: Does bill always do everything himself? Doing the wraps alone by yourself must be a challenge. And also how much does one of these goblets cost?

@corningmuseumofglass 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Omar, Bill usually works alone, he has years of practice doing all the steps solo. He hasn't sold a piece like this before, so it's difficult to judge how much he would sell it for. Thanks for watching!

This absolutely amazing. I cannot imagine how much time and practice it takes to learn and master these techniques. How long does it take to make one of these intricate pieces? There are so many steps! Edited to add: Is this all done by memory of which part of the construction comes first and in what order the process goes, or is there a written outline for Mr. Gudenrath to follow? Edited AGAIN to add: Is the time required to complete the piece today similar to back in the 17th century, or is there technology today that speeds up the process?

It looks like the original object has glass disease. That's a shame.

@corningmuseumofglass 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Nicholas, our conservation department has done some work on the original goblet due to its crizzling. It is severely crizzled to the point that it was falling apart. The goblet and lid were consolidated to provide structural support. The foot is repaired and has additional support under it to lessen the pressure on the edges. One of the ribbed loops on the lid is also a repair. Learn more about crizzling here: www.cmog.org/article/crizzling. Thanks for watching!
