Sieger Design teapot "Cult" by Arzberg
Sleek, robust teapot, designed in the 1990s by Michael Sieger for the German manufacturer Arzberg.
The design is called "Cult" and this specific beige and brown graphic decor is called "Nature".
Although it is more than 25 years old, this teapot fits extremely well into any modern interior.
About the manufacturer:
Arzberg was founded in 1887 in the Bavarian town of Arzberg in Germany and became famous thanks to Hermann Gretsch and his "Form 1382" from 1931: this modern design formed the basis of the Bauhaus principles and is still sold worldwide.
In 1972, Arzberg became part of Hutschenreuther AG and from 2000 it fell under SKV-Porzellan-Union GmbH (founded in 1993 by the porcelain companies Schirnding, Kronester and Johann Seltmann Vohenstrauß).
In 2003, 250 employees worked there and the head office and production moved to Schirnding. In 2004, SKV was renamed Arzberg-Porzellan GmbH.
10 years later Arzberg announced bankruptcy. While awaiting the verdict, the building remained empty for 10 years and it seemed as if time had stood still. Check out this short documentary about the abandoned factory full of unfinished tableware.
Today the trademark is owned by Rosenthal porcelain.
