This piece is a Rosenthal Versace I Love Baroque Nero decorative porcelain plate, often called a charger plate. Crafted in exquisitely detailed porcelain, it features a striking gold Medusa head at the center—Versace’s unmistakable trademark—surrounded by lavish gold baroque designs set against a rich black background. Measuring about seven inches in diameter and standing an inch tall, this plate is in near mint condition, which makes it a real gem for collectors and anyone who appreciates luxury décor. Rosenthal’s quality and Versace’s dramatic flair are both on full display here, turning what might otherwise be a simple dining plate into a showpiece for any table or display cabinet. While it’s technically meant for use as a charger in sophisticated dining settings, most people would find it almost too beautiful to cover up with food. Instead, it works fantastic as a statement piece, either hung up or propped on a stand like in the photo.
The collaboration between Rosenthal and Versace brings together the best of German porcelain craftsmanship and Italian luxury fashion. The I Love Baroque collection, introduced in the late 1990s, is inspired by classical European art and architecture—those ornate gold details echo the grandeur of ancient palaces. This particular line is known for its bold patterns and generous use of gold, making it highly collectible, especially as pieces go out of production. Given that these plates are a few decades old now, their numbers are thinning, especially in such great condition. If you find a piece like this, you’ve got something not just eye-catching, but also a rare little slice of late 20th-century design history, combining everyday utility with pure decorative pizzazz.
