Description

Nambe 5256 “Butterfly” Cream & Sugar Set – Neil Cohen Design, Slovenia, Boxed

Elegant Nambe “Butterfly” Cream & Sugar Set (Model 5256) designed by Neil Cohen, crafted in Slovenia. This sculptural set exemplifies Nambe’s signature blend of artistry and function, featuring gracefully curved forms reminiscent of butterfly wings. Each piece is made from high-clarity crystal, beautifully polished for a smooth, luminous finish.

Originally retailing for $125, the Butterfly collection reflects Nambe’s modern design philosophy — timeless, organic, and highly collectible. These pieces serve as both functional tableware and striking art-glass accents, ideal for entertaining or display. Each bears the etched Nambe signature on the base and comes in the original blue Nambe box with factory labeling.
