Zanfirico is a type of polychrome cane, they are made by assembling a bundle of rods of different colours, and heating it until the material is soft and viscous. The molten bundle is then attached to two punti sticks and elongated up to 30ft, at the same time the bundle is twisted to produce a spiral pattern. Zanfirico takes its name from the Venetian dealer Antonio Sanquirico, who, in the 1830s, encouraged the revival on Murano of this and other traditional techniques.
