The frosted crystal heads of the mythical Medusa with their sculptural design adorn four of the eight sides of the octagonal shaped transparent crystal vessel giving highlighting accents to each cocktail reception and dining events.
This is a collection which plays with elegance, sophistication and simplicity. The brilliance and the timeless look, together with the satin finish of the Medusa emblem embellishes the articles of this line enhanced by a glamour which is typical of the Versace style. The high quality crystal glasses are subtly pervious to light, harmonising both with each other as well as with all other sets in the current “Rosenthal meets Versace” collection. The transparent medusa head and the long stem lend the glasses a certain elegance, imparting any cocktail reception and table setting with wonderful sparkling accents. The reflecting light will invade your houses guaranteeing an extra touch of class.
According to ancient myths Medusa was one of the three Gorgons which in Greek mythology were sea monsters with gold wings, snakes for hair, and turned anyone who looked directly at them to stone. The three sisters represented perversion in its three individual forms: intellectual, sexual and moral. Medusa’s snake hair locks were a punishment from Athena. The once extremely beautiful mortal was punished by Athena with a hideous appearance and loathsome snakes for having been raped in Athena’s temple by Poseidon.
Gianni Versace chose this Greek mythological figure as his luxurious logo because she made people fall in love with her and they had no way back. He hoped his Maison would have the same seductive effect on people. The collection now offers a new version featuring a sophisticated dark grey colour fume, the new Medusa Lumiere Haze glassware. The ultimate in elegance and mystery.
