Dei Rossi, Antonio
 

The thin, colored glass rods are stacked against the drawing to be created in Glass. The resulting thick cold cylinder is heated then pulled into a thin cylinder (called Murrina Cane). The cane is cut in cross sections to get several of the Murrinas shown on the left.
From most canes between 50 and 100 good Murrinas can be obtained. In the case of large elaborate images, the process results in fewer pieces.
