| Davide wakes up very early in the morning... | Davide Fuin shaping soft glass... | ...with the right tools... | The stem is blown too and he needs the help of his assistant ("servente") |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Davide applies a gold foil on the stem | ...again in the oven to start with the base... | ...Davide is checking if the work is well done... | Now the base |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Davide is working with care... | With the help of his assistant the master applies the "morise", a glass decor, on the stem | Often the details of the stem make the goblet value increase... | Working on the stem again with the cooperation of the assistant; every great master needs a good team |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The "servente" is blowing the cup; Davide follows this process stretching the blown glass | Now the master glassmaker "opens" the blown ball to obtain the goblet cup | With his experience Davide Fuin is one of the best masters for very light and thin glass | ...great coordination between the team members; everybody knows exactly what to do (and when)... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The cup in the kiln before the final steps... | Now the different parts of the goblet (base, stem and cup) are assembled together | The result of care, technical skills, natural ability and a lot of passion... | At the end the goblet goes in the "tempera" for the cooling |
