Ninfea Cup by Napoleone Martinuzzi for Venini, Contemporary Production

Italian Murano Glass Mid-Century Inspired Centrepiece

A refined reinterpretation of the historic Ninfea design by Napoleone Martinuzzi, this sculptural Murano glass cup is produced by Venini using traditional Venetian techniques. Its vivid red Opalino glass and organic, petal-like contours evoke the soft fluidity of a water lily, transforming the piece into a luminous decorative statement.

Historic Venetian design with modern craftsmanship
Originally conceived by Martinuzzi—one of Venini’s most celebrated artistic directors—the Ninfea form embodies the elegance of 20th-century Murano artistry. The contemporary execution preserves the original sculptural language while enhancing it with today’s refined colour intensity and glass clarity.

A collector’s decorative centrepiece
Ideal as a centrepiece, bowl, or sculptural art object, the Ninfea Cup brings warmth and vibrancy to modern interiors. Its deep, flared shape and soft undulating edges make it a standout example of Venini’s ability to merge heritage design with contemporary production.
