What you’re looking at is a stunning example of a Versace Butterfly Garden Rosenthal tea cup and saucer set, dating all the way back to around 1980. This particular set is in near mint condition, which means it looks almost as flawless as the day it was crafted. With its delicate height of just 1 inch and a graceful width and diameter of 7 inches, it’s a piece that balances elegance with an unmistakable touch of luxury. The plate features a beautiful sky-blue background awash with details: an array of colorful butterflies and ladybugs set among intricate gold scrolling borders, capturing the opulence and creative energy that Versace is known for.
The Versace Butterfly Garden collection was created in partnership with the esteemed porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal, well-known for its high-quality, timeless pieces. The collection is famous for its vibrant, nature-inspired designs—specifically its butterflies and baroque golden curls—making every item in this line not just a piece of dinnerware, but a real statement piece for display. Items from the late 1970s and early 1980s have become increasingly rare and are sought after by collectors and lovers of vintage design. Pieces like this almost forty-year-old tea cup and saucer are especially prized for their craftsmanship, bright colors, and unmistakable Versace flair. If you find one in this kind of condition, it’s a little treasure—perfect for fancy afternoon tea or just to keep on display as a conversation starter.
