SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG: SIP OF GOLD – PRECIOUS COMPANIONS

Champagne Edition Dr. Barbara Sturm

A little gold, a little wildlife, and evenings that last longer than planned

Some tumblers simply hold a drink. Others quietly become part of the evening. The PRECIOUS COMPANIONS champagne tumbler from the SIP OF GOLD collection by SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG belongs firmly in the second category. Decorated with finely illustrated elephants, turtles, bees and hares, this extraordinary porcelain piece feels somewhere between contemporary design object and collectible work of art. And then there is the inside: finished in radiant 24-carat gold, transforming every sip into something unexpectedly luminous.

Crafted in the renowned FÜRSTENBERG porcelain manufactory, where craftsmanship has been refined for more than 275 years, the tumbler is made from exceptionally fine hard porcelain with walls measuring only around two millimetres thick. The result is surprisingly lightweight in the hand, elegant without ever feeling fragile. Champagne, sparkling wine or even still water take on warm golden reflections inside the cup, creating a drinking experience that feels almost ceremonial — though thankfully without becoming too serious about itself.

The monochrome wildlife illustrations contrast beautifully with the rich gold interior, giving the tumbler a calm yet expressive presence. Rather than appearing overly decorative, the motifs feel intentional and meaningful. Every bee, turtle and elephant tells a quiet story about biodiversity, protection and the beauty of the natural world. It is luxury with depth. The kind that stays interesting long after the table has been cleared.

More than a champagne tumbler

PRECIOUS COMPANIONS was created in collaboration with renowned aesthetics doctor Dr. Barbara Sturm and carries a message that goes beyond design alone. The collection combines refined table culture with an awareness of endangered wildlife and environmental responsibility. While the gold interior adds warmth and richness, the outer design remains understated, graphic and wonderfully modern.

With a capacity of 0.30 litres, the tumbler works beautifully for champagne, sparkling wine, water, cocktails or small evening serves. Candlelight reflects softly against the gold interior, adding depth and atmosphere to the table almost effortlessly. Sometimes the smallest details create the strongest mood. This tumbler understands that perfectly.

And perhaps that is exactly why it feels so special: it does not demand attention. It simply earns it.

Craftsmanship with character and purpose

The collaboration between SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG and Dr. Barbara Sturm marks a unique creative partnership. For the first time, the décor of a SIP OF GOLD tumbler was developed around the vision of an external collaborator. Known worldwide for her anti-inflammatory skincare philosophy and non-surgical aesthetic treatments, Dr. Barbara Sturm brought her passion for animals, design and sustainability into this remarkable edition.

Ten percent of every sale is donated to Defend, formerly National Park Rescue, an organisation dedicated to protecting wildlife and preserving natural habitats. Each illustrated animal carries symbolic meaning: the elephant represents wisdom and protection, the turtle raises awareness for ocean pollution, the hare references cruelty-free cosmetics, and the bee reminds us how essential biodiversity truly is.

The result is a porcelain tumbler that feels luxurious without becoming distant — thoughtful without becoming overly serious. A rare balance, and one that SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG achieves beautifully.

For tables with personality

The SIEGER champagne tumbler from the SIP OF GOLD – PRECIOUS COMPANIONS collection pairs effortlessly with modern table settings, dark surfaces, linen textures and soft lighting. Whether used during long dinners, celebratory evenings or slow Sunday lunches, it adds a quiet sense of occasion to the moment.

Presented in an elegant gift box, the tumbler also makes a meaningful gift for collectors, design enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates objects with both beauty and substance.

Some objects disappear into cupboards over time. Others somehow remain on display. This one will probably stay exactly where everyone can see it.
