De Biasi Glass Creations
The De Biasi Ltd. is a company located on Murano Island, Venice and is owned by Cristiano and Andrea De Biasi.
It creates luxury jewellery and objects in Murano glass. The collections of Murano glass pendants and necklaces are made using techniques such as zanfirico.
Zanfirico is a technique invented by glass makers on the Venetian island of Murano, Italy. Zanfirico glass consists of fine filigree canes which have been stretched and twisted to form beautiful lattice patterns. The name Zanfirico derives from the surname of a 19th century Italian art dealer, Antonio Sanquirico, however the Zanfirico technique has been used as far back as the 16th century. Many Murano glass manufacturers use Zanfirico canes in their glassware production.
