What a nice piece - fit for a fine museum or my house, lol. Amazing how such a large and heavy piece of glass doesn't just break off from the pipe from the sheer weight of itself.
it's actually the years of time and learning, kind like paying a doctor $400 for seeing you for 5 minutes for a prescription, you're paying for that 8-10 years he had to go to school to treat you
There's also the fact that this man is a maestro - he IS the best in the business. He's studied years and years, worked and refined his technique, all to create these glass pieces that are masterful works of art. What's wrong, you don't think an artist who works 3-6 hours a day four to seven days a week merits being paid the same as someone who studies just as long, say, to be a doctor? It's the same level of intense study and work.
These are not just pieces of worked glass...these are made in Murano by Murano's glass artists, where the art is still alive after almost 800 years.It's like buying a violin made by someone unknown or one made by Stradivari.
No offense, but have you ever stood in front of that big glory hole with all 3 doors open for a long time, or tried to keep 40+ pounds of glass on center? It's brutally hard, and this is a piece done by perhaps the best ever. I don't think anyone could do much better.
Fantastic video. Mesmerising from start to finish.
CMOG .. you could run Lino videos all day long and it would be great. He is so wonderful..
Team work at its best! .
amazing to watch the fluidity of a well seasoned team working together like one
GREAT video!!!! What team work! Would have been sooooo nice to see what it looked like when cool, and then when cold worked and finished!!! Thanks!!!

Right? Lino and Bill are my favorite thing on RUclips. I could watch all day. LOVED the Picasso autograph story. 😂😂😂
CMOG is the bomb

Bravo!

amazing work, done by the mistro
An hour of work merits pricing these pieces at $40,000?

yes DcZ C and the price of the instruments and glass and the team as well.
