Midas
Everything turns to gold
The playful, baroque Rosenthal form Sanssouci forms the stage for the Midas decor, which is monochromatic in gold. While the fine lines on the handles of the coffee pot and sugar bowl are reminiscent of a classic gold rim, other collection items such as plates and espresso cups are completely immersed in gold.
Touch of Gold
These are joined by pieces with distinctive patterns of twigs and leaves, which are laid on top of each other in layers and alternate between matte and shiny surfaces. In this way, a very sensual interplay is created when combined with the porcelain relief.
The three-dimensional camouflage decor is named after the mythological king Midas, for whom Dionysus had fulfilled a wish: everything he touched turned to gold.
