One of the first sets of the collection "rosenthal meets versace”, the décor "medusa” by gianni versace on the form of the "ikarus” mirrors the matchless rich, color intensive world of versace. Central eye-catcher of this collection is a glorious gold colored head of medusa, an unmistakably versace emblem, framed by expressive baroque ornaments. The centrally placed head of medusa decorates all cups, pots, service and breakfast plates of the collection "medusa”. Varacious aristrocratic colors, bright red, precious gold and black with lavish delicate designs and ornaments give the head of medusa a colorful elegant framework. The two glass series "medusa lumière" and "méandre", as well as the cutlery collection "medusa gold”, complete an elegant and colorful table culture in the unique world of versace. With this décor the colours are melted into the glaze at 1000 degrees c. Here the glaze softens and the décor sinks into it, thus making colour and luminosity indestructible. It is scratch- and wear-resistant. However, gold decors are not totally scratch resistant by virtue of their natural material properties.
