Les Trésors de la Mer by Versace for Rosenthal. German School. 20th century - Glazed and decorated porcelain. Measurements: bowls H 10.5 cm x D 20 cm, platter L 28 cm x W 20.5 cm, plates D 27 cm. This set comprises three bowls, one oval platter, and six dinner plates from the celebrated *Les Trésors de la Mer* collection, designed by Versace for the German firm Rosenthal starting in 1994, based on the elegant Ikarus shape. The meticulously executed decoration features a lavish array of marine motifs in turquoise, coral, ultramarine, and gold tones against a white background, highlighting seashells, branching corals, and baroque elements in gleaming gold. The ornamental stylization evokes a mythological and sumptuous universe, where decorative richness becomes a symbol of Mediterranean sophistication. Each piece bears the company's hallmark in black and gold, a testament to its authenticity. The technical quality of the porcelain, the uniform glaze, and the vibrant colors confirm the excellence of the Rosenthal manufacture, renowned for its collaborations with internationally acclaimed designers. Although the set is in generally good condition, there is a small chip on the rim of the serving platter. This collection, already considered iconic of late 20th-century design, combines luxury, fantasy, and craftsmanship in a visually striking ensemble.
