Zanfirico refers to a specific type of Murano glass, created by the Venetian glassmaker Salviati & Co, using the zanfirico technique. Zanfirico, also known as "vetro a retorti", is a glassblowing technique where a bundle of colored glass rods is twisted and elongated to create a spiral or patterned design.
Salviati & Co. was a prominent Venetian glass manufacturer, and their zanfirico creations are highly sought after.
