Meet the designer turning classic Venetian glass into modern art
Venetian glass is perhaps the most famous glass in the world. The island of Murano became the glass-making center of Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries, creating art that was so popular it was sought out by royals well into the 19th century. Today, the intricate pieces are still in demand, and one entrepreneur is making waves by turning an old world craft into modern day art. Dana Jacobson has more.
"CBS Saturday Morning" co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts. Watch "CBS Saturday Morning" at 7 a.m. ET on CBS and 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app.

I visited Murano and this shop a few weeks ago. Watching the process in person was so hypnotizing,

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I know Dale Chahuli’s glass work, so I was not surprised that he was Roberto’s inspiration for glass work. Roberto is a true Artist, yes it takes Math and Science to make Art, that has been my experience and I have been doing Art since I was 2-3 years old, my mother was such a wonderful artist. She just passed away 3-19-2024, at her funeral, my son’s special memory was of my mom sitting with him when he was 5, while they talked and drew, he said he was amazed at his grandmother’s drawing, it hung in his bedroom for 10 years, hopefully I still have it. I miss my mom, we took her to the Bellagio Hotel/Casino, to view his ceiling Art and Dale was their in the lobby, I was star struck, I have loved Dale Chahuli’s glass art since the 1980’s.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@misswildlife7905 I’m sorry about the spelling, I have had 2 severe concussions in the last 11 years, I did brain testing in November 2015, I learned that nouns, especially names are the hardest thing to remember, spelling is also difficult. I was a spelling Bee Champion in my youth & I word checked books for my dad as a teenager, he was a printer & he used to bring me those old wooden boxes, they used to set type, my dad brought home lots of linotype words and letters, I learned to read backwards and upside down along with forwards at age 3, so it’s very hard excepting these word issues. 7 months after my brain testing, I fell out of bed into my bookshelf and knocked myself unconscious, my husband had to pick me up and put me back in bed & clean my blood off the rug and the 50+ books that hit me in the head. I broke my nose and spent the next day in the ER, I was diagnosed with another whiplash and a second concussion. I have healed about as much as possible. It’s embarrassing and upsetting to have you type in all caps. I’m trying to stay positive. I truly love Chihuly’s glass work, I forgot to say that Dale Chahuli’s in the lobby of the Bellagio, that was so wonderful & I pointed him out to my mother.
This is great, my family and I just visited Morano Tuesday
What a great story! Beautiful work, Roberto!

If you love glass art you can also support local glass artist that might have work thats just as beautiful as ours but lesser known and might have a better price :) anyways a set of Murano drinking glasses won’t set you back that bad :D
Exquisite workmanship!!!!
We visited Murano a few years ago, it was beautiful, there was even a tree made of Murano glass.

I had collaborated with many Murano glassmakers around 20 years ago and was sad to hear of their recent troubles (and potential end to such a legacy.) Happy to see this new new creative initiative and hope it inspires others to enter the time-honored craft

I was thinking of Dale Chihuly's art during the interview!

Glass blowing is an art.. It's not that easy to do, I try it... So I have respect for the Master Glass Artist....
Just FYI, Netflix has a TV series called 'Blown Away' that is a glass-blowing competition. You'll see & learn a lot!
Chihuly's glass is amazing. He is in my top five of artists I love.
Very impressed!
That man in the ...Gym shark...ad .. pretty good 😊💯... just my opinion

Great
So beautifully amazing work. Wondering if they need protective gear. No gloves, heat resistant clothing, boots?
Cute, smart and talented.❤
At some point, would your team talk about faux Murano glass. Even sold in Venice. What mark proves it's authentic Murano glass
You NEVER included Roberto's name in the description, only yours....shame shame!!

Great report. I love it when CBS can get into art without adding politics, because their politics always veer toward communism.
BRAVO! Very cool...But what's up with host-is she some kind of former wrestler, or weightlifter? That's one Big girl!
Living out a fantasy.... when all around you is changing & falling apart in the world 🌍.....Makes me wonder ....🤔🤫...how someone can't survive making a living ....😮.. just my opinion
WOW something made in the USA.
