Beer Glass Design for RITZENHOFF Design Collection

Beer Glass Design for RITZENHOFF Design Collection

Click here to see ALL of Ian Marsden’s Ritzenhoff Designs

I had the pleasure of designing a brand new beer glass for RITZENHOFF, featuring a Weizenbier (white beer) glass with a fun original viking character. As an artist and illustrator with over 20 years of experience, I was thrilled to work on this project and bring this unique glass design to life.

This high quality crystal RITZENHOFF Design Collection beer glass holds 500 ml and features a fun little viking character with a metallic gold helmet, sword and axe.

Left and right there is a floating, sparkling gold beer glass design.

The unique beer glass ships in a black Designer tube and includes 5 custom coasters to match the design with the designers signature on the back.

If you’re a fan of Weizenbier or vikings, this beer glass design is the perfect addition to your collection. It’s a unique and playful piece that will surely impress your friends and family.

This is the perfect gift for any chieftain or tribal leader (a family counts as a tribe, doesn’t it?)  who occasionally enjoys a chilled, frothy beverage.

As a character and mascot designer, I enjoy creating cute and playful animal characters that can bring joy and positivity to people’s lives. These cute dog character designs, such as the King Dog, Dog running with bone, King dog with napkin, crown, knife and fork, waiter dog with tray and bone, are perfect for licensing and merchandising. They can be used on a variety of products, from children’s books to clothing and accessories.

This means they can be scaled to any size without losing resolution, making them versatile for any application. Plus, with their charming and friendly expressions, these cute dog characters are sure to be a hit with audiences of all ages.
