Napoleone Martinuzzi
Bowl in pulegoso glass with relief decoration and gold leaf integrated in the glass wall
Ancient Roman glassware was a source of inspiration for the Napoleone Martinuzzi’s bowls, who transformed them into objects of his own time by altering the scale and the use of vetro pulegoso. Martinuzzi’s set of bowls is one of the most illustrative examples of the Novecento experience.
