Rosenthal - Heritage Midas espresso/mocha cup

The playful, baroque Rosenthal shape »Sanssouci« forms the stage for the »Midas« decor, which is monochromatic in gold. Patterns with distinctive twigs and leaves are laid on top of each other in layers, shimmering between matt and glossy surfaces and creating an extremely sensual interplay when they meet the porcelain relief. The three-dimensional camouflage décor is named after the mythological king Midas, whom Dionysus had fulfilled a wish: everything he touched turned to gold.
