Versace NZ: Luxury Tableware, Porcelain and Home Décor Buying Guide

If you are looking for truly distinctive luxury tableware in New Zealand, Versace at The Homestore brings one of the world's most recognisable fashion aesthetics into the home. Created in collaboration with renowned porcelain house Rosenthal, Versace tableware combines bold Italian design with specialist German porcelain craftsmanship.

At The Homestore, our Versace collection includes luxury plates, bowls, cups, vases, decorative objects, candles, coasters and glassware across iconic collections including Medusa Gala, Medusa Rhapsody, Prestige Gala, Virtus Gala, I Love Baroque, Medusa Amplified and more. Whether you are selecting a statement piece for your home, building a distinctive table setting or searching for an exceptional gift, Versace is designed to be noticed.

Why Choose Versace Tableware?

Versace is unlike traditional tableware. Rather than disappearing into the background, each piece becomes part of the interior itself. The brand's unmistakable Medusa motifs, Baroque ornamentation, dramatic colour and metallic detailing transform porcelain and decorative objects into statement pieces.

• Iconic Italian design: Instantly recognisable Versace motifs translated into luxury tableware and homeware.
• Crafted by Rosenthal: Versace porcelain combines Italian fashion design with German porcelain expertise.
• Statement styling: Bold colour, gold detailing and ornamental patterns create exceptional visual impact.
• Extensive collection: Explore plates, cups, bowls, vases, glassware, candles, coasters and decorative objects.
• Exceptional gifting: Ideal for weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays and luxury home gifts.

If you are selecting something memorable for a wedding or special occasion, you can also explore The Homestore Gift Registry for premium tableware and homeware.

What Makes Versace by Rosenthal Different?

Versace tableware sits at the intersection of fashion, art and dining. The collections take visual elements associated with the Versace fashion house and reinterpret them across porcelain, glass and decorative home pieces.

The result is tableware that can be used functionally while also having a strong decorative presence. A Versace service plate may become the centrepiece of a place setting, while a vase, candle or decorative object can work as a standalone feature within an interior.

Customers often choose Versace because it offers:

• Distinctive Medusa and Baroque motifs with unmistakable Versace character
• Rich colours and metallic accents that create a luxurious table setting
• Collectible designs that can be added to over time
• Decorative versatility across dining, entertaining and interior styling

How to Choose the Right Versace Collection

The best Versace collection for your home depends on how bold you want your setting to feel. Some collections feature dramatic black and gold decoration, while others introduce vivid colour, intricate florals or sculptural Medusa detailing.

1) Medusa Gala for Iconic Versace Luxury

Medusa Gala is an exceptional choice if you want a table setting that immediately feels recognisably Versace. The collection combines classical decorative influences with the iconic Medusa motif and rich ornamental detailing.

Pieces such as service plates, smaller dishes, coasters and statement vases allow you to introduce the collection gradually or build a more complete setting.

2) Prestige Gala for Maximum Impact

Prestige Gala takes decorative luxury even further. It is ideal for customers looking for statement porcelain that feels highly ornamental and suited to formal entertaining, display or collecting.

A large service plate can be used to anchor an entire place setting, while individual decorative pieces can bring the look into a room without requiring a complete dinnerware collection.

3) Virtus Gala for a Contemporary Statement

Virtus Gala brings a strong graphic identity to the table and is particularly striking in its contrasting black and white variations. It works beautifully in contemporary interiors where bold pattern and polished metallic details can become part of the overall décor.

If you prefer a more curated approach, use a Virtus Gala plate as an accent alongside simpler tableware rather than creating an entirely matching setting.

4) Medusa Rhapsody for Colour and Ornament

Medusa Rhapsody is ideal for customers who love expressive colour. The range combines traditional Versace ornamentation with a more vibrant palette, creating pieces that feel luxurious yet playful.

Statement service plates are especially effective when layered with more understated dinnerware, allowing the Versace design to remain the visual focus.

5) I Love Baroque for Dramatic Italian Styling

I Love Baroque celebrates one of Versace's most recognisable decorative languages. Rich ornamental motifs and bold contrasts make this collection particularly suited to customers who prefer unapologetically luxurious table settings.

Smaller dishes, plates and tea pieces are also an easy way to introduce the design without committing to a full dinner service.

6) Medusa Amplified for Bold Contemporary Colour

Medusa Amplified takes the iconic Medusa emblem and gives it a bright, contemporary treatment. Colourful plates make excellent statement pieces for entertaining, display or gifting, particularly for customers who appreciate Versace's fashion-led aesthetic.

Start with a Versace Statement Piece

You do not need a complete Versace dinner service to introduce the brand into your home. In fact, some of the most effective interiors use just one or two distinctive pieces.

• Service plates: Create an immediate focal point at each place setting or use decoratively when not in use.
• Small plates and dishes: An accessible way to introduce a favourite collection.
• Tea cups and saucers: Bring luxury into coffee, tea and after-dinner entertaining.
• Coasters: A subtle way to incorporate Versace into a bar or entertaining space.
• Decorative objects: Ideal for shelves, consoles, sideboards and display cabinets.

Versace Vases and Decorative Home Pieces

Versace extends well beyond the dining table. The collection at The Homestore includes sculptural vases, decorative objects and home accessories that bring the Versace aesthetic into living rooms, entranceways and display spaces.

The Medusa Grande vases are particularly striking, with sculptural forms and finishes that allow them to work beautifully even without flowers. Larger pieces can become a focal point on a console or dining table, while smaller vases are ideal for shelves and curated displays.

Versace Glassware for a Luxury Bar Setting

Versace glassware offers another way to bring the brand into the home. Decorative whiskey glasses, longdrink glasses, champagne pieces and decanters can transform a drinks cabinet or home bar into a much more distinctive entertaining space.

The Medusa Lumiére pieces are particularly suited to customers who want glassware that functions as décor as much as drinkware. Rich colour and iconic detailing make these pieces especially effective when displayed between occasions.

Versace for Entertaining

A Versace table does not need to be understated. The appeal is in creating a sense of occasion through pattern, colour and contrast. For entertaining, you can either commit fully to a coordinated Versace collection or use a few feature pieces alongside simpler tableware.

• For a formal setting: Layer service plates, coordinated porcelain and polished glassware.
• For contemporary entertaining: Use one statement Versace plate or bowl against a simpler table.
• For drinks: Add decorative glasses, coasters or a decanter to a home bar.
• For the centre of the table: Use a sculptural Versace vase as the focal point.

Because the designs are so distinctive, surrounding elements can remain relatively restrained. Plain linens, simple cutlery and a clean table surface allow the porcelain to command attention.

Versace as Collectible Homeware

For many customers, Versace porcelain is as much about collecting as dining. Different collections offer their own interpretation of familiar Versace symbols, making it possible to build a collection around a favourite motif, colour or decorative style.

A thoughtful approach is to begin with one collection and add pieces gradually. Alternatively, individual pieces from different collections can create an eclectic display united by Versace's distinctive visual identity.

Is Versace Tableware a Good Gift?

Yes. Versace makes an exceptional luxury gift, particularly when the occasion calls for something more memorable than traditional homeware. Smaller porcelain pieces, coasters, candles and decorative objects are particularly well suited to individual gifting, while larger pieces make impressive milestone presents.

• Weddings and engagements
• Milestone anniversaries
• Significant birthdays
• Luxury housewarming gifts
• Christmas and special occasion gifting
• Gifts for collectors and design enthusiasts

Versace pieces can feature intricate decoration, metallic detailing and specialist finishes, so care requirements should always be checked for the individual product.

• Follow individual care instructions: Requirements can vary between porcelain, glassware and decorative pieces.
• Avoid abrasive cleaning: Protect decorative surfaces and metallic finishes from harsh scourers.
• Handle carefully: Treat fine porcelain, glass and sculptural pieces as premium objects.
• Hand wash where recommended: Particularly important for delicate or highly decorated pieces.
• Store securely: Protect plates, glasses and decorative pieces from knocks between uses.
