Versace Acanto Black Round Box

Elegant porcelain Rosenthal Versace miniature gold gilded coffee pot designed by Paul Wunderlich with the decoration designed by the late Gianni Versace. This item is probably a salesman sample or display piece. The Rosenthal pattern by Versace is "Les Tresors de la Mer" which translates to Treasures of the Sea. The shape is known as "Ikarus" and is part of the Rosenthal Studio Line.

The Versace porcelain designer, Paul Wunderlich, was born in Berlin in 1927. He gave up a successful career as a professor of art to pursue his own talents. Although he still lives and works in Hamburg, his exhibits and travels abroad have brought Wunderlich international acclaim. Wunderlich's designs are influenced by mysticism and most are characterized by the use of precious metals and rare materials. He has been a designer for Rosenthal since 1978. His works show how light porcelain is and what shapes can be created by his steeply curved handles.

This excellent example has a wing detailed gold gilded finial. The shape created here seems well suited to the decoration which Gianni Versace designed. Ann Kerr wrote in her book, Rosenthal Excellence For All Times, Treasures of the Sea suggests Mediterranean waters, the scent of sea breezes, blue skies. Sea creatures, mythic and actual appear on different items as if cast up by the tides.

The Versace decoration is very Italian, very mysterious, very wonderful. Gianni Versace (original spelling), Italian by birth but internationally claimed by the fashion design and theatrical worlds brought luxury to the Rosenthal family of excellence. His details are sumptuous, intricate and involved, his colors so important, so clearly ones which he seemed to own. Colorful in life, Versace's work remains so. There are no chips, cracks or damage to the wonderful design or gold gilding. Please purchase on online http://www.etabletop.com/
