Designed by Gianni Versace for The Rosenthal Company of Germany this stopper features a frosted, two sided Medusa and clear, tapered stopper in the original gift box. Acid stamped signature of Versace and Rosenthal. Originally purchased in Germany.
The Versace Medusa head is an expression of Versace’s vision: she encompasses Versace’s taste for tradition and classical nuance along with his desire to astonish audiences with designs that are striking in their brilliance, originality and style. The Versace stopper depicts the young, golden-haired and beautiful Medusa that caught the eye of the god Poseidon, before the angry Athena turned her into a monster with snakes for hair. Her beauty is apparent.
