The right to brew beer used to be a privilege conferred by kings and princes, as a way to preserve the quality of this archaic drink as well as a lucrative source of income. Royal insignia can still be found in the emblems of many breweries to this day. Beer is one of the world’s oldest and most internationally popular drinks. Wherever you go, people brew and drink beer. With Of Kings & Queens, SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG is breathing fresh life into this tradition. Designed by Michael Sieger, the new porcelain and gold beer mugs offer an elegant, slender reinterpretation of the classic beer tankard. Spring water, hops, malt and yeast – these exquisite ingredients of the drink of kings can achieve their full potential. The matt satin finish on the outside makes the unique quality of the handcrafted porcelain palpable to both sight and touch. The interplay between the 24-carat interior and the golden drink creates a glistening show of light that makes savouring the beer an even greater pleasure.

The straight-lined design and concave facets are inspired by the forms of Doric columns. Decorative grooves were a key design element in ancient architecture, which served to accentuate the columns’ upward sweep.

The beer mugs are designed by SIEGER and made by hand in the Porzellanmanufaktur FÜRSTENBERG studios with great delicacy of touch. They are available in two sizes, 0.33 and 0.5 litres, and sit snugly in the hand thanks to the slender, finely formed handle.
