(August 7, 2015) The Cane is a circular glass element. It can be thick and
full whet employed to obtain the “Murrine”, multicolored (transparent and
opaque) or monochrome. The smallest cane is called “Cannetta” (little cane).
The cane employed to obtain the Filigree can be linear transparent with a
colored glass filaments inside, or twisted. There is the “reticello” Filigree
with a delicate drawing inside, the “ritortoli” Filigree with some filaments
that create a spiral drawing. The latter is also known as “zanfirico” (from
Antonio Sanguirico, an antique dealer).
The canes are melted together and then
blown in order to obtain a unique object. The works realized with this
technique are very precious due to the difficulty of manufacturing.
