Sassenberg, Germany

Beautiful Creatures, the newest tumbler series designed by Sieger for the Porcelain Manufacturer Fürstenberg, pays tribute to the beauty and variety of animal species.

The wafer-thin porcelain tumblers with gold-plated interiors are colourfully decorated with elephants, tigers, polar bears, blue whales, and octopuses.

They also send an important message: wild animals living in their natural habitats are endangered and need our protection.

That’s why part of the proceeds will be donated to the wildlife rescue organization National Park Rescue.

The Beautiful Creatures tumblers have been designed with loving attention to detail.

For their beautiful and awareness-raising design, Beautiful Creatures has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

Against the patterned backgrounds, the animals stand out with their own distinctive character.

The five animal species come from different parts of the world and represent both the beauty and the vulnerability of nature.

They are endangered by poaching, dwindling habitats, and ocean pollution.

Polar bears are also emblematic of the dangers of climate change, as rising air and water temperatures pose an extreme threat to their survival.

The wafer-thin tumblers are meticulously handcrafted and plated with 24-carat gold on the inside, which is applied with exquisite delicacy of touch.

The animal-themed tumbler series Beautiful Creatures is one of the latest additions to the collection Sip of Gold.

Especially when the tumblers are filled with a drink, hundreds of reflections create the impression of liquid gold that gives the collection its name.

Lovingly handmade in Germany, each tumbler is unique – with a wall thickness of only around two millimetres.

The Beautiful Creatures series was inspired by the Precious Companions tumbler created in partnership with Dr. Barbara Sturm in 2021.

Each unique, handcrafted tumbler is adorned with elephants, bees, turtles, and rabbits, elegantly illustrating the beauty and diversity of animal species.

A portion of proceeds from sales of the Precious Companions collection likewise goes to National Park Rescue.
